Four officers from the Metropolitan Police are under investigation for misconduct following the murders of Naomi Hunte and Fiona Holm by Carl Cooper. Both women had previously complained to police about Cooper's violence, but he was not charged despite being arrested after an assault on Ms Holm in April 2023.
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.
