Asylum seeker 'asked for help 72 times' before pandemic stabbing rampage at Glasgow hotel

A report leaked to the BBC says the 28-year-old from Sudan contacted the Home Office, contractors Mears and Migrant Help a total of 72 times about his health and accommodation in the period leading up to the attack.
