Muriel McKay's family want Met chief to intervene as they call for killer to be allowed to help with search
Sunday, 21 July 2024 The police search for the remains of murdered Muriel McKay is being extended into a second week today - with her family planning a last-minute appeal for help to Scotland Yard commissioner Sir Mark Rowley.
The Metropolitan Police cannot dismiss officers by removing their vetting clearance, the High Court has ruled.
The decision comes after Sergeant Lino Di Maria successfully mounted a legal challenge, supported by the Metropolitan Police Federation, after having his vetting removed over sexual assault allegations, which he denies. Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley said the ruling on the law "has left policing in a hopeless position".
“We now have no mechanism to rid the Met of officers who were not fit to hold vetting – those who cannot be trusted to work with women, or those who cannot be trusted to enter the homes of vulnerable people.
