The senior police officer who was in charge on the night of the Manchester Arena bombing could face criminal charges over evidence he gave about the emergency response to the terror attack.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) has confirmed it will be referring a file of evidence to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) regarding former Chief Inspector Dale Sexton’s comments during reviews into the attack carried out at an Ariana Grande concert by suicide bomber Salman Abedi.
