Jim Ogunkoya accuses the authorities of frogmarching his children to their deaths, after his their mother was given unsupervised access to them.

Antoine and Kenniece Ogunkoya were killed by Vivian Gamor, a schizophrenic now held indefinitely in a secure mental hospital.

She had been sectioned for violence only a few months earlier, but social workers decided she should be granted unsupervised access to the children, against the wishes of their father.

Within the next two weeks a report will be published into the deaths of the two children in East London, but all of the details won't be made available to Mr Ogunkoya because of data protection rules.

Katie Razzall was granted the only television interview with the Ogunkoya family.

You may find some of the details in her report distressing.
