Coroner Graeme Irvine criticized the Metropolitan Police for failing to produce vital evidence in the inquest of Anna Bellamy, a young woman believed to have taken her life. Irvine described the lack of action by the police as the 'straw that broke the camel's back,' leading to potential delays in the inquest. He stated that the police's handling of death referrals had severely declined, adding that officers could face legal consequences if court orders are ignored. The failure to interrogate Miss Bellamy's electronic devices, essential for the investigation, further exacerbated the situation.
The grieving family of a young woman allegedly took their life faced prolonged grief due to the Met's failure to follow court orders and provide evidence.
Coroner Graeme Irvine expressed frustration over the Met's poor quality of death referrals over two years, risking delays for inquest proceedings.
