Prison staff considered Fishmongers' Hall attacker Usman Khan safe to join an inmate education programme whose academics he would later stab, despite intelligence he was still involved in radicalisation and gang-related violence, an inquest heard.
Senior staff at HMP Whitemoor in Cambridgeshire concluded Khan could join a creative writing course run by Learning Together, said Will Styles, who was prison governor before the convicted terrorist's release in December 2018.
Mr Styles said he was confident he was "given a picture" of Khan's behaviour in prison at the time and he was aware the 28-year-old from Stafford was "a difficult and risky character" but the decision was made to allow him to enrol.
