Met cops admit relying on luck when trying to solve some murders
Metropolitan Police officers have admitted they are relying on "luck" when investigating some killings in London.A damning report from the emergency services watchdog found the risk of the Met failing to identify deaths as killings is "way higher than it should be" almost a decade on from the blunders made in the pursuit of Stephen Port.
His Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services warned officers need to grasp basic standards of investigation if they are working on an unexpected or unexplained death.Murder cops hunting wanted fiance of pregnant teacher Marelle Sturrock find his body at reservoir "It is very difficult to explain how such obvious murders, linked murders, were completely missed at the time."
But Mr Parr said the "vast majority" are discounted and not recognised as such, just like at the start of the Port case. A young, inexperienced workforce does not help, nor does the lack of resources, but that did not absolve the force of its responsibility to ensure the basics of investigation are put in place, the watchdog said.
