Police officer breaks 22-year silence after false claims he covered up murder

An ex police officer has claimed his own force botched a murder inquiry - leading to rumours his family was involved in the killings of a mother, her two little girls and their grandmother.

Former Inspector Stuart Lewis was held in a cell for four days, interviewed 26 times and suspended for four years after being arrested for one of the worst crimes in British legal history.

Mandy Power, 34, her daughters Katie, 10, and Emily, eight and her mother Doris Dawson, 80, were found bludgeoned to death and their house set on fire in 1999.
