Suspended Northamptonshire Police chief constable Nick Adderley is accused of telling lies about his naval history.
Misconduct proceedings against a suspended chief constable accused of telling “barefaced lies” about his naval history have been adjourned so an author who allegedly quoted his claims is contacted.
Both books – Lured To Their Deaths by journalist John Scheerhout and An Extraordinary Sacrifice: The story Of Pc Nicola Hughes, written by her father Bryn Hughes – were written about the murders of constables Nicola Hughes and Fiona Bone in Manchester in 2012, when Mr Adderley was divisional commander for Tameside at Greater Manchester Police.
An Extraordinary Sacrifice appears to feature a direct quote from Mr Adderley saying he had “held a senior position in the armed forces and I had been in conflict situations”. Mr Scheerhout was away and could not be reached on Thursday, but Mr Cowx said it is important that the Independent Office for Police Conduct continues to make “strenuous” efforts to contact him before the misconduct hearing progresses any further.
