Bu içerikte, atlı sporcu Katie Simpson’ın cinayetine ilişkin Polis Hizmeti’nin başarısızlıklarını araştıran bir denetleme raporunun ailesine açıklanacağı belirtilmektedir. Katie Simpson’ın ölümü başlangıçta intihar olarak ele alınmış ancak daha sonra partneri Jonathan Creswell’in cinayetle suçlanmasıyla durum değişmiştir. Creswell’in yargılanması sırasında evinde ölü bulunmasıyla birlikte, cinayeti örtbas etmeye yardım eden üç kadın ertelenmiş cezalar almıştır. Polis Soruşturması’nda yapılan eksiklikler kabul edilmiş ve ailenin özür dilemesi üzerine, PSNI aleyhine sivil bir dava açılmıştır. Ombudsman’ın yürüttüğü soruşturma, polis memurlarının ihmali tespit etmiş ve bu memurların durumları PSNI’nın profesyonel standartlar birimince ele alınmıştır. Aile, PSNI’ye karşı bir sivil dava açmış ve daha fazla şikayetin ombudsmana yapıldığı belirtilmiştir.
The family of murdered showjumper Katie Simpson is to discover the findings of a watchdog investigation into failures by the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI).
The Police Ombudsman’s office will inform them of its conclusions on Tuesday.
Ms Simpson, 21, from Tynan in County Armagh, died six days after being admitted to Altnagelvin Hospital, having never regained consciousness.
Creswell, 36, had beaten her before strangling her.
He rang 999 and pretended he had found her hanging from a stairwell.
Chief Constable Jon Boutcher has accepted there were “a number of shortcomings” in the early stages of the police investigation and has met Ms Simpson’s family to apologise.
He told a meeting of the Northern Ireland Policing Board in August that the PSNI had displayed a mindset which had not been “professionally curious enough”.
Prior to Cresswell’s arrest, several people, including relatives of Ms Simpson, had raised concerns about him.
The ombudsman’s investigation, which began in March 2021, resulted in a file of 1,400 pages being sent to the PSNI.
It found misconduct by a number of officers, with their cases dealt with by the PSNI’s professional standards unit.
The investigation followed a number of complaints lodged by Ms Simpson’s family, related to the fact that police did not treat her death as murder at an earlier stage.
They are bringing a civil action against the PSNI.
It is understood a number of further complaints related to the case have been made to the ombudsman more recently.
They are now under investigation.
