Claims that PSNI officers defiled and photographed body 'harrowing', says chief

Allegations that two police officers manipulated a suicide victim’s body and shared photos and a video online are “harrowing and shocking”, PSNI Chief Constable Simon Byrne has said.

Mr Byrne told a meeting of the Policing Board that the alleged actions “besmirched” the reputation of the PSNI.

The BBC Spotlight programme reported that the two officers have been under investigation for more than three years over the allegations which date back to 2017, and that one of them had been suspended on full pay.
