The sister of a Canadian teenager murdered in Britain is calling for a change in UK law to make it easier to check whether someone has a criminal past.
Hailey Wadsworth says her sibling Ashley would still be alive if her family had known the web boyfriend who lured her to his Essex home had convictions against women for assault and harassment.
But she says it is harder to find out information like that here, unlike in Canada, so she and her family had no idea of Jack Sepple’s dark past.
