This week, the PSNI has been sharply criticised yet again for their handling of the investigation and subsequent reviews into the murder of 21-year-old showjumper Katie Simpson.
Katie was strangled by her sister’s partner Jonathan Creswell in August 2020, who then claimed she’d taken her own life.
Police said they had not been made aware of Creswell’s previous conviction for domestic abuse, or other reports of troubling behaviour.
However, it has since been revealed that a top-level officer accessed his records five days after Katie’s death.
Jenny Friel talks to journalist Tanya Fowles, who has repeatedly requested, under the Freedom of Information Act, more details about why this vital information was not supplied to the independent review of the PSNI investigation into Katie’s murder.
