Relatives of the victims of last June’s fatal Nottingham knife attacks have expressed their alarm after learning police officers shared graphic details of their loved ones’ injuries over WhatsApp.
A disciplinary hearing held in January was told the message was sent to a group of officers on the app, with one of its members then forwarding it on to his wife and a friend. That officer, PC Matthew Gell, was given a final written warning, while the officer who originally sent the message was reprimanded by management.
