The police watchdog is investigating Scotland Yard after officers came into contact with a student nurse who had been reported missing. Owami Davies, 24, from Grays, Essex, left her family home on July 4 and was last seen just after midnight in Derby Road, West Croydon, south London, on July 7, but has not been found.
Ms Davies’s family reported her missing to Essex Police on July 6 and the force handed the investigation to the Metropolitan Police on July 23. On Saturday, the Met revealed its officers had spoken to Ms Davies on July 6.
In a statement, the force said officers were called to an address in Clarendon Road, Croydon, to concerns over the welfare of a woman. Police and London Ambulance Service attended the address and spoke to the woman but she told them she did not want help and left.
