HEALTH professionals working with disturbed young people were aware Katie Rough's killer had mental problems before the death.
A spokesperson from NHS England said: "An independent investigation has been commissioned and, as is always the case with investigations of this nature, the families of those concerned will be closely involved and we will work with them throughout the process until the report is published.
“We would like to once again extend our sympathies to Katie’s family.”
