Nottingham victims' parents brand watchdog director ‘offensive'
A senior official at the police watchdog is facing a complaint after bereaved families claimed he conducted a prayer for their loved ones before a meeting about the failings that led to their deaths. The families of students killed by a paranoid schizophrenic in Nottingham said they found Derrick Campbell's behaviour inappropriate, patronising and offensive. Dr Sanjoy Kumar, whose daughter Grace O'Malley-Kumar was one of three people killed in June 2023, said: 'I didn't want prayers from the IOPC. I wanted answers.' Campbell, a pastor at a church in Wolverhampton, was the Independent Office for Police Conduct's regional director overseeing multiple investigations into police failings in the case of Valdo Calocane, who fatally stabbed O'Malley-Kumar and Barnaby Webber, both 19, and Ian Coates, 65. Bereaved families have been highly critical of the watchdog's approach. After concerns about a lack of rigour, the IOPC was forced to reopen its inquiry into officers who failed to arrest Calocane a month before the attack. In March 2024, nine months after the killings, families met with Campbell for an update on four investigations into police conduct. Kumar said Campbell began the meeting with a prayer that reflected on their loss. 'I found it patronising and offensive,' Kumar said. 'I didn't want a prayer, I wanted answers. I've lost my daughter and it was his job to give me the truth, not a prayer. There are plenty of places to pray and the IOPC isn't one of them.' Emma Webber, Barnaby Webber's mother, said Campbell gave a generic prayer. She accused him of failing to give families full details about the IOPC's investigations. She was offended when, while discussing the officers who failed to arrest Calocane, Campbell said they were not to know he would go on to commit heinous acts. Campbell's register of interests at the IOPC shows he is a non-executive director at Zion City Tabernacle, a church where he is also a pastor. He now has a new role as the IOPC's director of engagement, after regional directors were removed following an organisational restructure. The IOPC said: 'We can confirm we've received a complaint about one of our directors and we are dealing with it in line with our complaints and feedback procedure.' The complaint is at the assessment stage. The IOPC has not yet launched an investigation — the step at which it acknowledges there are grounds for concern. Families have accused the IOPC of having a closed mindset over its investigation into the conduct of police investigating Calocane's assault on fellow factory workers on May 5, 2023, a month before his attack in Nottingham. The watchdog found 11 failings to properly investigate Calocane, who had a history of violence and had been sectioned four times. • Nottingham attack survivor: I wish Valdo Calocane had killed me instead It initially recommended the officers be charged with misconduct, meaning they would not face dismissal and would probably receive the sanction of a warning. The IOPC took the rare step of reopening its inquiry after The Times revealed IOPC investigators had not scrutinised discrepancies in officer accounts. The relatives of the victims had also raised concerns about 'significant errors and vital omissions' in the inquiry. Families are set to meet Wes Streeting, the health secretary, on Monday and raise concerns about transparency in the case. Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, where Calocane was treated, has declined to answer further specific questions about his care, citing the government's decision to call a public inquiry. Hearings will not begin until next year. An independent review revealed in February that Calocane was discharged from mental health services without any follow-ups or risk assessment even though staff knew he posed a danger. He had been allowed to skip medication that would have stopped his delusions because he did not like needles. The NHS is yet to confirm how many doctors were involved in Calocane's care and whether the same staff were responsible for repeated mistakes. The trust has also refused to confirm whether any staff have been given fresh training in light of the case or have been referred for regulatory action.

Misconduct probe against ex-Met officer over handling of fake abuse claims ended
The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) said it had stopped the investigation into former Met deputy assistant commissioner Steve Rodhouse after a 'large volume of relevant material was recently disclosed to the IOPC by the Metropolitan Police'. Mr Rodhouse was due to face a disciplinary hearing for potentially breaching police professional standards of behaviour for honesty and integrity and discreditable conduct. The allegations centred around comments made to the media in March 2016 concerning his beliefs about the honesty of two witnesses to Operation Midland – a Met investigation into allegations of non-recent sexual abuse. They also involved remarks he is alleged to have subsequently made to former High Court judge Sir Richard Henriques, who had been commissioned to carry out an independent review of the handling of Operation Midland in August 2016. Operation Midland was launched off the back of lurid and false allegations made by fantasist Carl Beech – later jailed for 18 years for what a judge called 'cruel and callous' lies. The Metropolitan Police's 16-month investigation into fake claims of a VIP paedophile ring saw raids on the homes of former home secretary Lord Brittan, as well as D-Day veteran Lord Bramall and ex-Tory MP Harvey Proctor. The probe ended in 2016 without a single arrest, after Beech made a series of baseless allegations, including of three murders. The force was heavily criticised for believing Beech too readily despite inconsistencies in his evidence, including naming witnesses who did not exist. The IOPC said there was 'no evidence' within the material provided from the Met that there was 'any inappropriate motivation in Mr Rodhouse's comments to the media' or which 'supports that he made those remarks during Sir Richard's review'. In a statement on Thursday, the policing watchdog said there was 'substantial evidence' to indicate comments made to the media were the 'result of collaboration between senior Met officers and staff' and there had been appropriate considerations, including a 'desire not to discourage victims of historic sex offences coming forward'. It added that by failing to follow Sir Richard's recommendation to investigate witnesses, the Met's service was 'unacceptable' and its subsequent reviews concluding no investigation was needed were 'flawed'. The IOPC said it had reported a potential crime to the Met during its investigation, adding this was being investigated by Sussex Police. A 2016 review of Operation Midland, led by Sir Richard Henriques, found offences of attempting to pervert the course of justice should be considered. As then deputy assistant commissioner, Mr Rodhouse was in charge of Operation Midland. He went on to take up a senior role at the National Crime Agency.

IOPC director Amanda Rowe said: 'Today's announcement does not change our finding that by failing to follow Sir Richard's recommendation in his review to investigate the witnesses, the Met's service was unacceptable and its subsequent reviews concluding no investigation was needed were flawed.' Ms Rowe added: 'It is highly regrettable for all concerned that material we requested three years ago during our investigation, and we believed had not been retained due to the Met's retention policy, has only recently been discovered and disclosed. 'Police forces have a legal obligation to provide information to the IOPC when we request it. 'However, we acknowledge that we could have taken further steps during the investigation to seek additional assurance from the Met that relevant email material was definitely unavailable. 'We apologise to all of those affected and we are working with the force to establish exactly how and why this situation has occurred, and to reduce the risk of it happening again.'
