The Metropolitan Police has publicly apologized for its handling of the investigation into the death of drag artist Steven Grygelko, known as Heklina, who died in April 2023. Close friend Joshua Grannell expressed anger at the lack of timely communication from the police and their failure to quickly seek information about three men who were present before Grygelko's body was found. A review into the police found issues of institutional homophobia, contributing to concerns over their treatment of the case. Grannell feels dismissed by police, raising concerns of potential homophobia in their approach.
Mr. Grannell expressed fury that it took nearly two years for police to appeal for information about three men who may know what happened to Grygelko.
Despite assurances of regular updates, Mr. Grannell found all emails unanswered for months, reflecting a significant communication failure by the Metropolitan Police.
