Former Metropolitan Police commissioner Dame Cressida Dick may have breached the standards of professional behaviour in relation to the case of murdered Welsh private investigator Daniel Morgan, a review has found. Mr Morgan, from Monmouthshire, was killed with an axe in the car park of the Golden Lion pub in Sydenham, south-east London, on March 10, 1987.
An independent panel set up to look into the case published a scathing report in June last year in which it accused the Met of "a form of institutional corruption" for concealing or denying failings over the unsolved murder. On Wednesday, the police watchdog published its own assessment of matters linked to that report.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) said it had determined "that there is an indication former Commissioner Cressida Dick - during her time as both Assistant Commissioner and the senior officer responsible for the inquiry - may have breached the standards of professional behaviour". But it added there was no justification for disciplinary action and found "no evidence to indicate Commissioner Dick intended to protect corrupt officers".
