A senior police officer has been accused of being resistant to investigating the death of showjumper Katie Simpson as a murder.
Alliance MLA Nuala McAllister, a member of the Policing Board, has told a BBC Spotlight investigation that a police officer from another team, who was trying to push for an investigation, was getting pushback. Ms McAllister said: “It has been alleged to me that it was DCI John Caldwell himself who put up the most resistance and acted in the way, I have been told, that was not befitting of a senior ranking officer.In January 2021 a police team in Armagh became the lead investigators of the case over the Maydown team.
PSNI Chief Constable Jon Boutcher said there had been challenges in identifying the circumstances of Katie's death
