Police were facing calls yesterday for a full inquiry after a suspected paedophile escaped to Australia and murdered an eight-year-old girl.
In a case which was being compared to that of the Soham killer Ian Huntley, Dante Arthurs was allowed to leave Britain despite being suspected of causing bodily harm to a 12-year-old girl in Bookham, Surrey, in 2001. The Times has learnt that one Surrey Police officer resigned and another faced a disciplinary inquiry as a result of botching the investigation.
Arthurs slipped through the net a second time two years later when police in Western Australia missed a chance to have him jailed for a sexual assault. Last week he pleaded guilty to the murder of Sofia Rodriguez-Urru-tia Shu, who was found dead in the lavatory of a Perth shopping centre by her brother. She had been beaten, sexually assaulted and strangled.
Yesterday her family told The Times that they were dismayed and angry to learn that she might not have died had British police pursued her killer several years ago. Sofias father, Gabriel, said: It has totally devastated us and amplified our grief. Sofias death could have been avoided.
Family friends called for an inquiry into Arthurs being allowed to move to Australia despite continuing inquiries into the alleged assault in Bookham six years ago. Bryan Rosling, the family priest, said that the case had disturbing links to that of Huntley, who faced previous sexual allegations that were not investigated properly.
This guy was allowed to slip through the laws fingers and commit his horrendous crime in 2006, he said. If he had been charged and convicted, Sofia might be alive and well today. At the very least he would have been known as a predator.
In the alleged incident in 2001, Arthurs was suspected of grabbing the young girl from behind, putting his hands over her nose and mouth. She managed to struggle free. He was questioned by police and his house was searched, but an identification parade was repeatedly postponed initially because of objections from Arthurs solicitor and by the time police were able to go ahead with it, the suspect was on his way to Australia.
Surrey Police did not tell Interpol that Arthurs was a suspect. Officers in Australia, unaware of Arthurs past until he murdered Sofia last June, said that they would have known far earlier if Interpol had been alerted.

I am from Perth W.A. where the murder of Sofia took place. As soon as it happened this guy was linked to Robert Thompson the U.K. Jamie Bulger murderer.
This was denied by British and Australian police and authorities His mother said that he was born in Aus. and a birth notice appeared - allegedly from 22 years before. His mother also stated that the family had left Aus when Dante was 10 and gone to live in the U.K. for the next 8 years, returning to Aus when he was 18. Strange? She was quoted as saying that he "didn't have a violent bone in his body ".
Let's remind everyone that Thompson was given a false identity in Britain, which would include birth certificate etc etc.
Since that time we have been told that Dante Arthurs had been questioned on two previous occasions following attacks on two other girls in Britain and Australia and on both occasions was arrested very quickly. That alone is surprising if he was unknown to police? . . . So is the fact that he never stood trial for either attack.
I seriously need help fighting injustice within the police urgently because soon they are puyying mr in prison for something I have not done, also, they have my Son in jail and all because I started up an injustice group. My story is so horrendous involving a child molester, violence, perjury to name but a few. I need help from someone who will hopefullt expose officers of the law that are more criminal than the people they lock up. Help!
