Police worker gets final warning over handling of 999 call before four deaths
The four were all found inside a property in Allan Bedford Crescent in Costessey, Norfolk.
Post-mortem examinations recorded that all four died of neck wounds.
The deaths of the two girls and their aunt were being treated as murder, while the death of Mr Kuczynski was not being treated as suspicious.
Norfolk Police said officers were not looking for anyone else in connection with the killings.
The force had received a 999 call from Mr Kuzcynski on the morning of January 19 but officers were not deployed to the address until an hour later when police were called by a concerned dog walker, watchdog the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) said.
In an audio recording of the call, Mr Kuczynski said: 'I am walking with the knife, I have just lost the plot.'
Mr Kuczynski expressed concerns about his own mental state and said he was confused.
The call handler advised him to seek medical advice and police did not attend the property as a result of the call.
When questioned as part of the IOPC investigation, the call handler said he did not hear the word 'knife' and would have acted differently had he done so.
The call handler was initially suspended but returned to work following a review and was put on restricted duties.
Norfolk Police said on Friday that a member of staff had been given a final written warning following a misconduct investigation into the handling of the 999 call.
The force said in a statement: 'The IOPC investigation concluded the call handler had a case to answer for misconduct based on their handling of the call and failing to record their risk assessment in their decision-making.
'The force accepted this conclusion, and a misconduct meeting was held on June 26 2025 where the chair determined misconduct to be proven and issued a final written warning for 12 months.'
The misconduct meeting was not held in public.
Norfolk Police said that the worker remains employed by the force as a member of police staff, and is no longer on restricted duties.
A full inquest into the deaths is anticipated to take place in 2026 pending the completion of a Domestic Homicide Review.

Family urge new IOPC probe over restrained man's death
The police watchdog is being urged to conduct another investigation into officers' handling of a man who died hours after being restrained during a mental health Fletcher, 26, died in hospital in Nottingham on 3 July 2022 after a police welfare check escalated into a decision to section investigation by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) - carried out before an inquest into Mr Fletcher's death - found police actions were "reasonable and proportionate". However, Mr Fletcher's family want the IOPC to take further action after an inquest jury in July concluded "gross failings" by Nottinghamshire Police and others involved contributed to his death. Nathaniel Ameyaw, Mr Fletcher's father, said: "It took for a jury to uncover things, uncover failings that the IOPC should have done."Our hope is that they will investigate again and take a thorough look at the police's policies, procedures, what they should have done, what they didn't do - because it wasn't thorough." Mr Fletcher was diagnosed with paranoid personality disorder in 2020 and had struggled with a drug were called to his accommodation, at young people's charity YMCA, to carry out a welfare check on 3 July 2022 following concerns he would harm agreeing to be taken to hospital by the officers, Mr Fletcher suddenly changed his mind, no longer believing they were really was then detained under the Mental Health Fletcher was handcuffed, struck and restrained for about 30 minutes by numerous officers. Eventually an ambulance arrived, and he was taken to the Queen's Medical Centre, where he had been called to the home of Mr Fletcher's mother the day before his death, as he was experiencing another "mental health disturbance".It was discussed then that he should be sectioned and taken to a place of safety - a decision his family under the guidance of a community nurse, Mr Fletcher was taken back to his accommodation with no further condition deteriorated overnight and led to the police welfare check that started the chain of events leading to his death. Investigation report Nottinghamshire Police made a referral to the IOPC on 3 July 2022, and the watchdog said it made a decision to investigate on the same day. The investigation examined police contact with Mr Fletcher on the morning he died, as well as the previous day when they were called to his mother's also considered complaints raised by the family about consideration of his mental health, officers' use of force restraining him and an allegation he was treated differently because he was IOPC's final report was completed in April 2024 and was shared with the coroner and Mr Fletcher's family to assist with the findings were only made public after the inquest had watchdog found "no evidence" of a criminal offence or behaviour that justified disciplinary added there was no evidence supporting the allegation of less favourable treatment of Mr Fletcher. Mr Fletcher's cause of death was recorded as "the physical effects of exertion following a period of restraint, combined with the cocaine and other substances". After a four-week inquest, the jury concluded the level of restraint used by the officers was "appropriate" but found their combined force was "uncontrolled".The jury said there was "ineffective communication" at the scene and a "lack of clear leadership".They added police should have considered the length of time Mr Fletcher was kept in restraints and concluded there was a "gross failure" in training across all agencies involved. The inquest heard how, under a joint policy between police and East Midlands Ambulance Service, officers at the scene should have called for an ambulance. However, an ambulance was not called for until after the initial period of restraint. Police giving evidence at the inquest told the jury they were unaware of the policy. 'Still fighting for answers' Mr Ameyaw said he was comforted by the jury's findings and felt they had seen what had happened "the way [he] saw it".The 49-year-old added: "After my son passed, we had no choice but to put our faith in the IOPC. "They came and met with us as a family. They came to our home and they assured us that they were going to do a thorough investigation. "They were the ones that had access to the body-worn footage, they were the ones that were going to give us the answers." But Mr Ameyaw said: "As a family we are still fighting for answers and it's very difficult." Derrick Campbell, IOPC regional director, said: "We have acknowledged the narrative verdict returned by the inquest jury and respect their findings. "I reiterate my deepest sympathies for Kaine's family and friends for their loss. This is a truly tragic case in which a young man lost his life."Our investigation involved a detailed examination of the evidence, including calls made to police, police incident logs, police radio communication, police officers' body worn video, officers' training records, CCTV, and medical reports. "We also obtained witness accounts from all parties involved, including independent witnesses, police officers, and ambulance staff."Nottinghamshire Police previously said it would reflect on the findings the coroner made and continued to take "all the necessary steps to keep the public and our workforce safe".

Britain's FBI takes over probe into police officers accused of historic sex abuse of Rotherham girls
An investigation into allegations police officers took part in historical sexual abuse in Rotherham is to be taken over by the National Crime Agency (NCA) - Britain's equivalent to the FBI. Last month, survivors of sexual exploitation in the town said they had 'no faith' in the South Yorkshire Police (SYP) investigation into its former officers in relation to a series of allegations. On Friday, the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) announced its 'directed investigation into non-recent child sex abuse complaints from victim-survivors against former South Yorkshire Police (SYP) officers' will now be carried out by the NCA, under the IOPC's direction and control. The investigation was being carried out by SYP's major crime unit, under the IOPC's direction, and three former officers have been arrested. But the IOPC said it was responding to 'concerns about SYP's involvement and a perception of a conflict of interest'. It said it was a joint decision with SYP to ask the NCA to take over. The IOPC said that 'while we remain satisfied there was no conflict of interest with SYP' it believes that 'transferring the investigation to the NCA may provide further reassurance to victim-survivors'. Lawyers representing survivors welcomed the move as a 'step in the right direction' but said their clients remained concerned over the continued involvement of the IOPC. IOPC director Emily Barry said: 'Victim-survivors are always at the centre of our investigations and it's extremely important that they have trust and confidence in the investigation. 'We recognise the concerns that have been raised by some about SYP investigating serious complaints relating to former SYP officers and we want to ensure that any victim-survivors feel able to come forward with complaints about former SYP officers.' Five women told the BBC how they were exploited by grooming gangs in the town when they were children and also sexually abused by officers. According to a special report by the BBC, one girl was raped from the age of 12 in a marked police car and the officer threatened to hand her back to the groomers if she did not do as he said. The NCA said the investigation will be carried out by officers from Operation Stovewood - the agency's huge, decade-long investigation into child sexual exploitation in Rotherham between 1997 and 2013. Operation Stovewood identified more than 1,100 children involved in the exploitation in Rotherham. Philip Marshall, head of Operation Stovewood, said: 'The National Crime Agency will ensure that victims remain at the heart of this investigation, as we continue the extensive work that South Yorkshire Police has begun. 'Though our investigation will be independent of South Yorkshire Police, we will work closely with the force and the Independent Office for Police Conduct to ensure that victims receive the best service and support as the investigation is transferred to us. 'I encourage any further victims, or anyone with information that might help our investigation, to please contact the National Crime Agency by calling our 24-hour phone line or emailing the investigation team. Alternatively they can contact the Independent Office for Police Conduct.' Last month, the law firm Switalskis, which represents survivors of abuse in Rotherham, said it had hoped that alleged abuse by officers would have been unearthed following Operation Linden - a long-running, IOPC investigation into how police responded to child sexual abuse in Rotherham between 1997 and 2013. The firm said in a statement in July: 'That never came. For years SYP resisted our requests for an investigation into the alleged criminality of police officers, despite us providing them with the accounts of survivors. 'Those that have suffered abuse in Rotherham have no faith that SYP will do a thorough job of investigating alleged abuse by their own officers.' In 2022, Operation Linden concluded that SYP fundamentally failed in its duty to protect vulnerable children and young people during the period under investigation. In a fresh statement on Friday, Switalskis said: 'We are pleased that South Yorkshire Police (SYP) has decided to hand the investigation into allegations of child sexual abuse, corruption, and the facilitation of abuse by former SYP officers to the National Crime Agency (NCA). 'However, we remain concerned that the investigation is still being directed by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), given the concerns raised by whistleblowers in relation to Operation Linden earlier this year. 'Nevertheless, we view this as a step in the right direction and hope that more survivors will now feel able to come forward to the NCA.' South Yorkshire's Mayor Oliver Coppard said: 'Victims and survivors should always be our priority. 'They deserve to feel heard, believed, and supported, and they must have confidence in the people and systems that are there to make sure justice is done. 'That's why it was right that who leads the investigation into these allegations was kept under review, and why I'm pleased that SYP, the IOPC and the NCA have listened to the concerns of those young women who have come forward to talk about their experiences.' Last month, girls who were exploited by Asian grooming gangs in Rotherham came forward with allegations that they were also preyed upon by police officers. One says she was raped from the age of 12 by a serving South Yorkshire Police officer in a marked car, the BBC reports. He would threaten to hand her back to the gang if she did not comply, she says. The woman is one of five who allege that as children they were exploited by corrupt police as well as grooming gangs. Among officers alleged to have preyed on girls is PC Hassan Ali. He died in 2015 having been hit by a car on the day he was suspended over alleged misconduct during the abuse scandal. Sammy Woodhouse, victim of the grooming scandal turned campaigner who exposed the Rotherham cases, says she named Ali as an abuser back in 2013. At least 1,400 girls in Rotherham were abused by gangs of men - mainly of Pakistani heritage - between 1997 and 2013, Prof Alexis Jay concluded in a landmark report in 2014. Three former South Yorkshire officers have been arrested on suspicion of historic sexual offences including attempted rape, indecent assault and misconduct in a public office while they were on duty. None have been charged. Written accounts by grooming gang survivors collected by specialist child abuse lawyers allege years of abuse by serving police officers in Rotherham from the mid-1990s to early 2000s. Most were girls in their teens at the time but some were as young as 11, according to the shocking report. One reports hearing a police officer having sex with girls in exchange for drugs and money. Another says she witnessed one supplying class A drugs to a grooming gang. Three describe being beaten up by officers as children, including in a police cell. One victim given the pseudonym Willow told the broadcaster she was sexually abused by hundreds of men over five years after first being targeted aged 11 - two of them police officers. 'He knew where we used to hang out, he would request either oral sex or rape us in the back of the police car,' she said. 'In a world where you were being abused so much, being raped once [each time] was a lot easier than multiple rapes and I think he knew that.' According to Willow, after she was pressured into an illegal abortion by the grooming gang, a youth worker contacted social services and the police. But she says one of the officers who had been abusing her turned up to interview her, leaving her 'destroyed', later ripping her statement up and throwing it in a bin. According to the BBC she named PC Hassan Ali as having raped her. Another victim, 'Emma', who was in care in the late 1990s, said she would be raped by a police officer in a squat. 'He knew we wouldn't be missed. He knew we wouldn't be reported. He knew we wouldn't be able to say anything,' she told the BBC. Amy Clowrey from Switalskis, who has been collecting the testimony, said the accounts of police allegedly preying on grooming victims were 'beyond belief'. 'There has been no accountability in the town - and without accountability, there will continue to be a distrust of South Yorkshire Police,' she added. Prof Jay today said she is 'shocked' that the force is investigating its own former officers. She told the BBC there were 'legitimate' reasons for victims to feel 'a total lack of trust' in the force.
