Four Metropolitan Police officers are under investigation for misconduct after two women were murdered by a man they had complained about to the force.
Carl Cooper, 66, was jailed for life in July for the murders of Naomi Hunte, 41, who was stabbed in the chest, and Fiona Holm, 48, whose body has never been found. Both women had been in a relationship with handyman Cooper around a year apart and had complained to police about his violence.
Met Police Commander Paul Brogden said: "Our thoughts will always remain with Naomi Hunte and Fiona Holm, and we again extend our sincere condolences to their families as they continue to grieve for these two beloved women. "We have always been clear that we made mistakes when dealing with allegations against Carl Cooper. "For those mistakes we are extremely sorry.
