Cop from Nicola Bulley force accused of misconduct over separate missing mum case
An officer from the force that has been under scrutiny for the handling of the Nicola Bulley case is under investigation accused of gross misconduct regarding the death of another mum who was reported missing. An appeal was launched to trace Kiena Dawes, 23, last July before she was found dead just hours later, the Mirror reports.
An IOPC spokesperson said: "Our investigation into prior contact between Lancashire Constabulary and Kiena Dawes, before her death on July 22, 2022 continues. We have been looking at the police response when Miss Dawes was reported missing, as well as reports that she had been the victim of assaults.
Kiena was discovered in Garstang, Lancs and Lancashire Police confirmed a man had been arrested on suspicion of assaulting her just days before her death. Despite the allegations, the man was released on bail pending further investigation and no charges were held against him. IOPC regional director Catherine Bates added: "The death of Kiena Dawes is a tragedy that has had a devastating impact on her family and friends. Our thoughts remain with her loved ones and all those affected.
He said the police should have done more to help her bring her alleged attacker to court. He said at the time: "The police have let my sister down, they have. She wanted to go through the legal route to get justice. The force recently came under fire for the way it handled the Nicola Bulley case in nearby St Michael's on Wyre after they revealed personal details of Nicola's health issues regarding alcohol problems due to menopause.
