Mina Smallman, mother of the two murdered sisters, expressed her disappointment with an apology from the Metropolitan Police, deeming it insufficient. After two officers were jailed for sharing grisly photos of her daughters, she revealed her anger and highlighted ongoing issues such as racism and arrogance within the police force. She noted that the lack of response from authorities when she reported her daughters missing may have been influenced by their ethnic backgrounds. Smallman's reflections underscore the urgent need for institutional accountability and reform in policing practices.
MSmallman: "You say sorry when you bump into someone at the supermarket. To say sorry for the actions of your colleagues is not enough, it feels hollow."
MSmallman: "Sometimes racism doesn't have language. It's not verbalized. It's what you fail to do and what you communicate within the structures."
