Terri Harris was thirty-five years old and pregnant. Her son John Paul Bennett was thirteen, and her daughter Lacey Bennett was eleven. Lacey had a friend over for a sleepover on the evening of 18 September 2021: Connie Gent, also eleven, who lived elsewhere and was at Chandos Crescent in Killamarsh that night because Lacey had asked her, and because it was that kind of Saturday. The four of them were killed in the house. The man arrested the next morning, Damien Bendall, was Terri's partner, on probation at the time. He was sentenced in December 2022 to a whole-life prison term. The deepest weight of this story is not the perpetrator. It is the four people whose lives ended in that house and the inquiries that followed asking why nothing had been done to keep them safe.
