Clapham chemical attacker Abdul Ezedi took his own life and drowned within hours of attacking a woman and two young girls, a coroner has ruled. Police had begun hunting for the 35-year-old pizza delivery worker after the incident in Clapham, south London, at 7.30pm on January 31. His body was found in the River Thames on February 19. Senior Coroner Mary Hassell ruled that Ezedi, whose body was found beneath Chelsea Bridge, died from suicide and drowned. She told the inquest at Poplar Coroner's Court in east London: 'The circumstances surrounding his death are clear in part.

Following a row inside their house in Keyham, Jake Davison (pictured right and inset during the 2021 massacre) fired a pump action shotgun to first kill his mother Maxine, 51, before claiming the lives of four others, including a toddler. His father, Mark (pictured with him on Wednesday), said he had refused to buy his son an air rifle out of fear of 'put a.22 slug into his mother's body before advising police not to refuse to give him a licence four years before the shooting. Upon learning of the licence application in 2017, Mr Davison claimed that he immediately called police to express his concerns, telling them: 'How for pity's sake can you give an autistic person living in a volatile environment a gun?' "I knew about his obsession with weapons," he said. He may not have had a shotgun. I did not want a shotgun in that house,' he said. Despite the jury being told that there was no log of the calls, he became outraged when he told the inquest jury that he called the police station in Plymouth several times. Mr Davison added that he was unaware of his son's involvement with the so-called Incel campaign and that he mistook him for a virgin because he was just shy with girls and that his son was 'not very good at showing emotion.'
