Police urged to review handling of grooming cases

Senior police officers are being told to tackle reported grooming more effectively, after the murder of a teenage boy who was befriended online by his killer.

Breck Bednar, 14, from Surrey, was stabbed to death by Lewis Daynes, then 18, in his Essex flat in February 2014.

His mother Lorin LaFave had reported a change in his behaviour to police.

Bryony Mackenzie reports.
