The missed opportunity to stop an axe killer
A man who killed his cousin with an axe could have been arrested before the attack if a call to police had not been left on hold for more than 40 minutes, an inquest has heard. Ashley Glennon was sentenced to an indefinite hospital order in January 2021 after pleading guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility, following the killing of his cousin, Ryan Lowry.
