My son Tanis Bhandari was murdered in an unprovoked attack with a knife on the 1st January 2015 in Plymouth Devon. All my family, friends and neighbours were left devastated by his death. This was compounded by the fact that Donald Pemberton was already being supervised by Devon, Dorset and Cornwall community Rehabilitation Company, at the time of the attack, as a result of a number of previous offences including being in possession of two meat cleavers in a public place. As a result a Serious Further Offence Review was begun.

To date we have been denied access to this report, being given only a summary which leaves more questions. Despite numerous requests to management of DDC-CRC we remain without answers and explanations as to many aspects of the case. 

At the start we were assured complete transparency but as yet we are still in the dark. This has lead to suspicion and mistrust towards those in authority. 

Being the mother of a murdered son is not my choice. Knowing that DDC-CRC mismanaged and failed to identify numerous factors within this case review is unacceptable and inexcusable. As a parent I'm looking for honest,truthful answers and explanations from those who deny me the full report.
