A senior detective is to review a police investigation into the death of a TV journalist. Teresa McMahon, 43, who worked for Granada Reports, was found unresponsive at her flat in Salford in the summer of 2021.
As reported in the Manchester Evening News, Greater Manchester Police delayed seeing Teresa for nine days after she made a report of domestic abuse due to 'resourcing issues', a report revealed. Teresa was found dead less than two weeks later at her home in Regent Avenue, Little Hulton, on August 3, 2021.
The force, according to a watchdog report, also failed to inform Teresa of her former partner's violent history, when she requested it under Clare's Law, and lost a vital bodycam footage.
