A complaint about the way GMP handled its investigation after the death of a TV journalist is to be reinvestigated. The move comes after the family of Teresa McMahon complained to a police watchdog about the force's initial inquiry when the 43-year-old was found dead at her flat.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) has said the investigation conducted by GMP into the complaints made "was not adequate, reasonable or proportionate" and that "lines of enquiry had not been pursued". It has directed the force "to reinvestigate the complaints in line with procedures outlined in their domestic abuse policy.” An inquest scheduled for February 10 will now be postponed.
In August last year, a second pre-inquest review heard that Granada Reports journalist Teresa was "a vulnerable individual locked in a coercive and controlling relationship," described as "toxic".
