Girl, 13, ‘asked mum if she would die’ before passing away from sepsis while pain medicine allegedly delayed, inquest hears | UK News

A 13-year-old girl in “unbearable” pain asked her mother if she would die before she passed away from sepsis, an inquest has heard.

Chloe Longster was rushed to the emergency department of Kettering General Hospital, Northamptonshire, on 28 November 2022 after she woke up with pain in her ribs and cold-like symptoms.

She was admitted that evening to a paediatric ward, Skylark, before later being transferred to intensive care, where she was intubated.

However, Chloe died the following morning.

An inquest into her death, which began at Northampton Coroner’s Court on Monday, heard Chloe’s mother, Louise Longster, tell assistant coroner Sophie Lomas that her daughter’s pain relief was “delayed”.

Her parents claimed that the teen’s death was “completely preventable” and said the family had been left “devastated” by it.

Mrs Longster told the inquest her daughter was “wincing and squirming” from the pain while in hospital.

She said: “Chloe asked if she could be put to sleep because it was unbearable. I remember thinking how pale and clammy she looked.

“It’s harrowing to see your own child in so much pain.

“She was clock-watching constantly – she knew when her paracetamol and ibuprofen were due and it was always delayed.

“It was like we were chasing her pain rather than getting on top of it.

“Chloe asked me on Skylark if she was going to die. It’s haunting that the 13-year-old was the one that was right. It’s devastating.”

It was only when Chloe was moved to a side room and diagnosed with influenza A that it was “taken seriously or acknowledged how much pain she was in”, Mrs Longster added.

A&E consultant Dr Marwan Gamaleldin saw Chloe three or four times before she was transferred to the paediatric ward.

He said he believed she had a chest infection at the time and that “pain was the main thing”.

“She had four doses of pain relief with three different medications, I appreciate that maybe it was not enough, but it was four doses of pain relief,” he said.

Dr Gamaleldin added that in the two-hour period he observed Chloe, he “did not think” that she had sepsis as she did not show either of the mandatory markers used to diagnose the condition – high white blood cell count or a fever.

At least one other staff member also spoke to the inquest.

The inquest continues.

HMP Wandsworth found to have ’81 points of failure’ after prisoner allegedly escaped London jail, report says | UK News

HMP Wandsworth was found to have “81 points of failure” in the wake of an alleged prisoner escape, a report has said.

Daniel Abed Khalife is accused of breaking out of the Category B jail on 6 September last year, and allegedly used bedsheets to strap himself under a food truck to make his escape.

The former soldier was arrested three days later and has pleaded not guilty to escaping from lawful custody. He is due to stand trial in October.

An audit identified a raft of security failings at the jail following Khalife’s alleged escape, HMP Wandsworth’s Independent Monitoring Board (IMB) has said in its annual report.

Published on Thursday, the report said a November audit identified “81 points of failure” – including “antiquated” CCTV cameras that had not worked for over a year – at the southwest London prison.

The IMB also called for HMP Wandsworth to be put into emergency measures over its “deeply concerning” findings, and described the jail as a “failing prison” which was “constrained by staff absence and hindered by underfunding and lack of support from the prison service”.

Its annual report added the prison was “not safe” – with around 1,000 assaults recorded either between prisoners or on staff – and noted it was “alarmingly easy” for prisoners to get hold of contraband, with cell searches finding phones, drugs, makeshift weapons, and alcohol.

IMB chairman Matthew Andrews said: “For HMP Wandsworth and the men whose treatment we monitor, this year has been as bad as any in our memory and, by many measures, worse.

“The recently released report from His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Prisons was highly critical but said little that surprised us. Many of the same issues had been raised in previous IMB annual reports and ignored by the Ministry of Justice.”

Khalife’s alleged escape also prompted multiple reviews and actions, including “previously unavailable funding” being made available.

The report noted a new CCTV system installed in May this year “immediately led to an increase in the number of illegal passes detected”.

It comes after an inspection of HMP Wandsworth in May revealed “chaos” and “appalling conditions”, stemming from “poor leadership at every level”.

The prison was also the focus of a police investigation into a prison officer filmed having sex with an inmate; Linda De Sousa Abreu, 30, pleaded guilty to misconduct in a public office at the end of July.

The government also confirmed a £100m funding package over five years, and additional staff, to deal with HMP Wandsworth, which it calls “one of the most troubled prisons in the country”.

A Ministry of Justice spokesperson said after the IMB’s annual report: “The new government inherited a justice system in crisis and has been forced to take action and get a grip of the situation across the prison estate, so we can lock up dangerous offenders, protect the public and make prisons safer for hard-working staff.

“Earlier this month, the new Lord Chancellor announced that the Prison Service is deploying extra specialist staff and will redirect £100m to be spent over five years at HMP Wandsworth to ensure immediate action is taken to improve conditions.”

Man arrested after allegedly dressing as Manchester Arena bomber Salman Abedi for Halloween | UK News

A man has been arrested for allegedly dressing up as the Manchester Arena bomber Salman Abedi for Halloween.

It comes after pictures appeared online of a man wearing an Arabian-style headdress and a T-shirt that said “I love Ariana Grande”, along with a backpack with the words “boom” and “TNT” written on it.

Abedi detonated a bomb at the end of an Ariana Grande concert in May 2017, killing himself and 22 people – including seven children.

North Yorkshire Police confirmed it had detained a suspect after receiving complaints from members of the public about “a man wearing an offensive costume”.

The force added in a statement: “The man was arrested on 1 November on suspicion of a number of offences including using a public communication network to send offensive messages.

“He remains in police custody for questioning at this time.”

Bradley Lowery: Man, 31, charged with public order offence after image of six-year-old allegedly mocked at football match | UK News

A 31-year-old man has been charged with a public order offence after an image of a six-year-old Sunderland fan who died of cancer was displayed at a football match.

Dale Houghton, from Rotherham, will appear before Sheffield Magistrates’ Court on Monday morning in connection to the incident, which took place at a match between Sheffield Wednesday and Sunderland on Friday.

Police said they have also applied for a football banning order.

A 27-year-old man, also arrested on Saturday, has been released on police bail while further enquiries are conducted.

Houghton was remanded in custody.

Following the incident, more than £11,000 has been raised for The Bradley Lowery Foundation, a charity set up after his death in 2017.

The Sheffield Wednesday Football Club Women’s Supporters’ Group set up a GoFundMe page on Saturday, which has now smashed its initial £5,000 target.

The funds will go towards a holiday home that the foundation is building in Scarborough, to help bereaved families and children going through treatment.

In a statement, the foundation said it was “overwhelmed” by the support and wanted to thank everyone who has contacted the charity.

Sheffield Wednesday also released a statement shortly after the incident apologising to Bradley’s friends and family.

The young football fan was diagnosed with rare childhood cancer neuroblastoma when he was just 18-months-old. He died in 2017.

On Sunday, Lynn Murphy, co-founder of the foundation, said Bradley brought rival teams within the game together.

“He went through some gruelling treatments, but he always did it with a smile on his face, and that smile is the thing that everyone remembers him for,” she told Sky News.

He was a mascot for both Sunderland and England and also struck up a close bond with striker Jermain Defoe, who called him his “best mate”.
