Katie Amess said authorities failed to adequately protect her father and her family wanted an investigation.

She said there were questions as to why police did not respond to an immediate threat.

Ali Harbi Ali stabbed the Southend West MP to death during a constituency surgery.

Ms Amess is also calling for a full investigation into how Ali fell through the cracks of national security.

Essex Police said it was inappropriate to comment because of ongoing legal proceedings.

Ms Amess also paid tribute to her father as "the most hardest-working person I've ever met", describing him as someone who loved helping people and who was "full of life and enigmatic and passionate". She said it was now "so hard" for her to be in Southend "because it just reminds me of my father". "I just wish that he was here to see all of this and to see Southend as a city.".
