In a deeply emotional television interview, Siobhan, the mother of Rian, spoke publicly for the first time about the loss of her daughter, delivering a powerful and anguished message directed at Prime Minister Keir Starmer and London Mayor Sadiq Khan.

Fighting back tears, she accused political leaders of failing to keep communities safe and said she believes serious shortcomings in public policy and the asylum system must be urgently addressed. Her comments reflected a mother’s search for accountability after an unimaginable tragedy, rather than a legal determination of responsibility.

During the interview, Siobhan also issued a direct challenge to the Prime Minister, calling on the government to confront what she described as systemic failures and to take stronger action to prevent other families from experiencing the same pain.

The case remains under police investigation, and no official link between government policy and the crime has been established.
