Police officer accused of falsely reporting student was in gang after their friendship cooled, tells court he was not obsessed with her
PC Abubakar Masum called Crimestoppers alleging the student was involved with drug and gun crimes
He said he thought it "appropriate at the time" to tell Crimestoppers rather than South Wales Police colleagues.He also denies securing unauthorised access to police computer material. When asked by Graham Trembath, defending, if he was obsessed with the student, he said: "Absolutely not. For a female that I've only met three times I don't thing it's physically possible to be that obsessed."
In calls to Crimestoppers, he claimed she had hidden a gun in the back garden of her shared house, sold cocaine, was involved in a plot to kill a man in a drug dispute and had shot an Albanian drug dealer in the leg before dumping his body in the sea. The report from Crimestoppers of the report said PC Masum had claimed the man who attacked him was planning to return to Swansea to throw acid in his face, which he denied saying in court.
