Maria Voisin, the senior coroner for Avon, stated that senior management's failures at Alexandra House led to a gross breach of duty, allowing Jason Conroy to murder Melissa Mathieson. The care plans inadequately reflected the serious risks posed by Conroy, despite multiple warnings about his dangerous behaviors, including previous attempts to strangle individuals. The coroner emphasized the lack of understanding by senior managers regarding the threat Conroy represented, labeling their conduct as reckless.
