Barry Spooner, 74, was stabbed to death by Sarah Hansford, 44, in his home on Gladstone Street, Forest Fields, in late May 2023
Nottinghamshire Police has been investigated by the policing watchdog after a veteran was murdered despite officers reportedly receiving eight warnings over his safety. .
The killer's sentencing hearing at Nottingham Crown Court was told she was caught on CCTV dancing naked in the street after the murder, before shaving her head and dressing as Mr Spooner to withdraw what remaining cash he had in his Lloyds bank account. A soon-to-be published Independent Office for Police Conduct report will detail whether the troubled force, which was placed into special measures in March, failed to protect Mr Spooner's safety and welfare.
A separate IOPC investigation is currently taking place over the force's conduct before, during and after the Nottingham attacks in June 2023, where students Barnaby Webber, 19, Grace O'Malley Kumar, 19, and school caretaker Ian Coates, 65, were killed by Valdo Calocane - who had been wanted for nine months prior to carrying out his fatal stabbings.
