Review of police probe found there was a “lack of professional inquisitiveness exacerbated by dilatory and lazy practices”
The parents of a Northern Ireland teenager killed in London have hit out at police saying they got “no investigation” into his death.
BTP said it launched an internal review into its handling of the case and has since implemented its recommendations. An open verdict was recorded at an inquest last year. The inquest heard that Connor may have passed through the New River - a nearby waterway - and a gap in a railway fence, before trying to cross the tracks.
The conclusions of the BTP review into Connor’s case, which have been seen by BBC London, acknowledged there was no visit to the site at the “earliest opportunity” in the days after Connor’s death. The family also have questions about why Connor left what they describe as a well-lit path to cross a waterway and up the bank to the tracks.
