ARSEMA DAWIT!

Aresema Dawit

Arsema Dawit could have been saved by security doors that were left in disrepair for months after failures by council bosses!

The broken doors meant that anyone could walk off the street into the block where the former choirgirl was knifed to death in a lift on Monday!

Residents in Matheson Lang Gardens, near Waterloo Station, had fought for at least three months to get the system fixed amid fears for their safety.

Residents today accused Lambeth council of leaving the block unprotected and allowing the killer to strike and revealed that new ground-floor security doors were installed last Friday but only made operational yesterday - three days after Arsema Dawit was murdered in the same block!

Farah Carver, a catering manager, said: 'For months anyone has been able to get in here. I complained so many times but the council just ignored us.'

The 43-year-old mother of two added: 'They finally locked them yesterday - which was too late for this poor girl.'

Her mother, Tsehainesh Medhani, has accused police of failing to act on several claims that the girl was being harassed.

An Independent Police Complaints Commission investigation will now examine Arsema's family's claims that they repeatedly complained about her being harassed and allegedly assaulted in the weeks before her killing.

It has also emerged that a key witness has still not been interviewed by detectives despite finding the schoolgirl's body.

Monica Badu, who lives in the same block, was with her six-year-old son Ezekiel, another neighbour and their nine-year-old daughter when she discovered Arsema's body in a lift just yards from her home.

But four days after the killing, officers have still not asked her to give a statement.

The mother-of-three said: 'Police have spoken to other people but not me. They came just to take my details. I told them I was there.

'They did not seem interested. It is an example of them not doing their job.'

Naturally it's always too late these days and only when someone has been murdered will useless council officials and incompetent and uncaring police officers actually do anything!

And the behaviour of the police which could have prevented the death of a young schoolgirl has obviously not changed one iota since their incomptence and uselessness led to the murder of Peter Woodhams!

And just like that betrayal no one will be punished here and the investigation by the IPCC will simply be used as a total whitewash as it was in the betrayal of Peter Woodhams!

They couldn't care less then and almost 2 years on they still couldn't care less!

And schoolgirl Arsema Dawit is dead because of their combined betrayals and incompetence!

(Arsema Dawit - betrayed!)
