Evidence of his insight, his planning, and his culpability was overlooked by a weak prosecution and poor-quality expert witnesses. A seriously mentally unwell man, yes, but one that knew entirely what he was doing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div data-testid=\"image-group\"><button type=\"button\" class=\"SlideViewerButton_slide-viewer-button__BDJoG\" aria-label=\"Open image viewer\" aria-haspopup=\"dialog\" aria-controls=\"image-lightbox\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"ImageEmbed_image-embed__0T8WX false\" data-testid=\"imageembed-37290947\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-articleid=\"37290947\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"image\">\n<div class=\"ImageEmbed_image-container__2AIQm\">\n<figure class=\"Figure_figure__Uce4f\" style=\"--figure-aspect-ratio:1.77\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A photo of Barnaby\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"(max-width: 458px) 458px, (max-width: 615px) 615px, 1200px\" src=\"https:\/\/i2-prod.mirror.co.uk\/article37290947.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s1200e\/0_HKr-oiDWYAAjDjH.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i2-prod.mirror.co.uk\/article37290947.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s458b\/0_HKr-oiDWYAAjDjH.jpg 458w, https:\/\/i2-prod.mirror.co.uk\/article37290947.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s615b\/0_HKr-oiDWYAAjDjH.jpg 615w, https:\/\/i2-prod.mirror.co.uk\/article37290947.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s1200e\/0_HKr-oiDWYAAjDjH.jpg 1200w\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"ImageCaption_caption__j7HRu\" data-testid=\"image-caption\">\n<p aria-label=\"Barnaby's mum has vowed to campaign for accountability \" class=\"ImageCaption_caption-title__ccyQU\" data-testid=\"caption-title\">Barnaby&#8217;s mum has vowed to campaign for accountability <cite aria-label=\"Image: @MrsEmmaWebber\/X\" class=\"ImageCaption_caption-credit__wlx1W\" data-testid=\"caption-credit\">(Image: @MrsEmmaWebber\/X)<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<p><\/button><\/div>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">She later demanded a meeting between ministers and victims&#8217; families in the coming weeks, adding: &#8220;We will not accept that a triple killer evades accountability through his own manipulation and legal technicalities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;We call today to meet with the government within the next month: the Prime Minister, the Attorney General, the Home Secretary, the Health Secretary, and the Justice Minister.
