The mother of a teenager who was stabbed to death by an ex-boyfriend has won a High Court case for a full inquest into her daughter’s death. Arsema Dawit, 15, was stabbed more than 30 times in Waterloo, central London, by Thomas Nugusse in June 2008.

Nugusse, 22, confessed but he could not be tried after suffering brain damage following a suicide attempt in prison. Because of threats to Arsema made by Nugusse, a coroner was wrong to decide against a full inquest, a judge ruled.

Arsema’s mother Tsehaynesh Medihani, who brought the case after a coroner refused to hold a full inquest in 2009, hopes the inquest will shed new light on failings by the police which the family claim led to the girl’s death.
