Nicola Bulley latest as minister says there are 'serious questions' over police decision while partner's social media is hacked
The disclosure of private information about Nicola Bulley is “shocking”, according to Commons Leader Penny Mordaunt. Her comments came after reports that heartless trolls hacked into social media accounts belonging to the missing mum's partner Paul Ansell.
Lancashire Police came under fire for releasing details of Nicola’s struggles with alcohol and peri-menopause symptoms to the public. Information Commissioner John Edwards has said he will be asking the force about its decision to make the information public. Asked whether police displayed sexism in their dealing with the case, Ms Mordaunt said: “I think that they clearly were motivated to try and explain why this case is a complex one. But I think there are serious questions to be asked about why they wanted to reveal particular information.”
The force has previously said its main working hypothesis is that Nicola fell into the River Wyre in a “10-minute window” on the day she disappeared. She was last seen at 9.10am taking her usual route with Willow, alongside the river, having earlier dropped off her two daughters at school.
