Damien Bendall, 33, is serving a whole-life order for the murders of his partner Terri Harris, 35, her daughter Lacey Bennett, 11, her son John Paul Bennett, 13, and Lacey's friend Connie Gent, 11.
Damien Bendall, 33, is serving a whole-life order for the murdersA quadruple killer had said he would 'murder my girlfriend and children' if their relationship 'went bad,' an inquest has heard.
The inquest had earlier heard that an officer from the Electronic Monitoring Service who was fitting Bendall with a tag for previous offences did not report Bendall when he told her he would 'murder my girlfriend and children' if their relationship 'went bad'. Ms Fatima, who worked at the probation service in Chesterfield, was asked if she had been aware that those comments had been made, just months before he went on to murder Ms Harris and the children in September 2021, to which she replied 'no'.
Ms Fatima told the court she was 'comfortable' to deal with Bendall, even though she was 'visibly Muslim' and he had previously expressed racist views and had claimed he had been a member of a white supremacist group called the Aryan Brotherhood.
