Rachel Nickell's family will not receive any compensation from the police despite failings that could have prevented her murder, it has emerged.
The Metropolitan Police said after "careful and detailed consideration" no payment would be made to her son Alex Hanscombe, 21, and his father Andre.
Alex Hanscombe was aged two when he saw Robert Napper stab his mother 49 times on Wimbledon Common, south-west London.
