Lord Jenner passes away peacefully at home

 
"Lord Janner, the former Labour peer ruled unfit to stand trial over child sexual abuse allegations, has died."

"He had been suffering from dementia and died peacefully at his home on Saturday aged 87, his family said."

"The peer had been accused of 22 counts of sex offences against boys allegations his family denied."

"A `trial of the facts` set for April will no longer take place. A lawyer representing alleged victims said they had been denied justice."

"Liz Dux, who represents six alleged victims, said: `This is devastating news for my clients. They have waited so long to see this case come before the courts, to be denied justice at the final hurdle is deeply frustrating.`"

"The Goddard inquiry, which is examining child sexual abuse claims, may now examine the allegations, the BBC’s Tom Symonds said."

"It had set aside the case while it was being dealt with in the courts."
