Greater Manchester Police delayed seeing a television journalist who reported domestic abuse by nine days due to "resourcing issues", a report has revealed. Teresa McMahon, who worked for Granada Reports, was found dead less than two weeks later at her home.
The force, according to a watchdog report, also failed to inform Teresa of her former partner's violent history, when she requested it under Clare's Law, and lost a vital bodycam footage.
Last week Manchester Evening News revealed a complaint about the way GMP handled its investigation after the death of Teresa is to be reinvestigated. The move comes after the family complained to a police watchdog about the force's initial inquiry when the 43-year-old was found hanged at her flat in Salford.
