  • "PSNI failed to do even the most basic police work" - Allison Morris on police failings in Katie Simpson murder investigation

    "PSNI failed to do even the most basic police work" - Allison Morris on police failings in Katie Simpson murder investigation
    Nov 12 2024
    The Police Ombudsman says the PSNI investigation into the death of Katie Simpson was “flawed and failed her family”. The 21-year-old died in hospital a week after an incident where her sister’s partner, Jonathan Creswell, claimed to have found her mid-suicide attempt. In reality, he had repeatedly attacked her. Police failed to question Katie’s death, despite Creswell’s violent history and physical signs of abuse on her body. He was later charged with her murder but took his life one day into the trial earlier this year. Ciarán Dunbar is joined by Allison Morris.
