The Home Secretary has said that Lancashire Police’s own investigation into the handling of Nicola Bulley’s case must “carry out its own process” when asked if there should be an external review into the force’s handling of the case.
Suella Braverman said she was not “wholly satisfied” with responses given by the chief constable when she demanded an explanation as to why some of Ms Bulley’s personal details were put into the public domain. It comes as a body was found on Sunday morning around a mile from where the mother-of-two went missing after dropping her daughters, aged six and nine, at school on January 27.
Ms Bulley’s partner, Paul Ansell, told Sky News of his “agony” after the discovery was made in the River Wyre, close to Rawcliffe Road in St Michael’s on Wyre at around 11.35am. It is understood a man and a woman walking their dog discovered the body and called police.
