Following the "terrorist attack" in London on Saturday, an Italian family has revealed information about one of the suspects claiming that a report had been filed against him in 2015 as well.
London attack: What we know
Erica, who lives on Elizabeth Fry estate, said Scotland Yard was aware of the suspect long before the London attack as he had tried to 'radicalise' her children towards Islam. After hearing the words, "Mummy, I want to become a Muslim", Erica went to the park to argue with the attacker and his comrades.
Erica's concerns grew after the attacker out rightly told her that "he would do whatever is required in the name of Allah... [he] would be prepared to kill [his] mother."
She also stated that she had gathered evidence and handed over pictures to the Barking Police, who instead told her to "leave the photos for [her] own safety." Erica also claimed the involvement of a Polish woman who she accused of tipping the suspect off about her police case.

A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said they knew about the claims that Erica was making, however, they would not be commenting further.
