A former police sergeant in charge of two officers who attended a call about a bag of weapons found a month before Gracie Spinks was killed said he feels a “fool” and wishes he could “change the past”.
Lee Richards, who worked at Derbyshire Police from 1992 until he retired in August last year, gave evidence on Wednesday at the inquest into the death of 23-year-old Ms Spinks, who is believed to have been stabbed to death by her “obsessed” colleague Michael Sellers, 35, as she tended to her horse at Blue Lodge Farm in Duckmanton, Derbyshire, on June 18 2021.
