Dad calls for change after young daughter had throat cut by stranger in park

Little Emily Jones was only seven-years-old when she was brutally killed in the most horrific way imaginable for any parent

.

"But it wasn't me that did it. There was no threat as far as I could see. There was no one there, just a lone lady sitting on a bench. I thought she posed no threat whatsoever." Paramedics arrived within minutes and the child was taken by air ambulance to Salford Royal Hospital, but tragically died that afternoon.

She first came to the UK in 2014, travelling from her home country of Albania. She had a history of violence and had twice been sectioned before, in 2015 and 2017. The inquest heard that in the week's before Emily was killed, Skana had been 'deliberately non-concordant' with her medication and either stopped or reduced it.The nurse had reported that she had 'no concerns' about Skana's mental health.

"You don't move on. You just compartmentalise, put it to the back of your head and carry on to the best of your ability. Some days are better than others." Mr Jones said that while he is 'glad' the inquest is over, he was left 'baffled' by the coroner's findings. Mark had to relive his daughter's death at both the inquest and the criminal trial. He says he has found the 'contradictory' evidence given by various psychiatric experts regarding Skana's mental state as particularly 'distressing'.
