The parents of three North East teenagers who tragically died in the Manchester Arena bombing have said there was a “fundamental lack of coordination and communication” in the emergency services that led to failings on the night.
South Shields couple, Chloe Rutherford,17, and Liam Curry, 19, and Gateshead teenager Courtney Boyle, 19, were among the 22 people who were murdered in the atrocity on May 22, 2017.
A public inquiry into the circumstances around the attack is ongoing with hearings taking place in Manchester. Today (Thursday, November 3) the Manchester Arena Inquiry published a catalogue of failings and mistakes by the emergency services following the terror attack.
