Met accused of giving up search for 1981 Walthamstow arson attacker
Briefly

The Metropolitan police have been criticized for seemingly abandoning the investigation into the 1981 arson attack that claimed the lives of an Asian woman and her three children in Walthamstow. Former officer Shaf Mogul highlighted issues of prejudice, incompetence, and the overlooking of potential hate crime motives in the case.
Forensic evidence revealed that the arson attack involved petrol being squirted through the letterbox, with the fire deliberately ignited from outside. Despite this evidence, the original investigation was criticized for focusing solely on the surviving husband as the suspect, neglecting other critical leads.
