The inquest revealed that Leak had been embroiled in an eight-hour standoff with police months before the attack, during which he threatened to take his own life in a graveyard in Oxfordshire. Thames Valley Police, responding to the call, discovered evidence on Leak’s electronic devices indicating his involvement in inciting racial hatred.
