Overview

• SEROCU has sent a file to the Crown Prosecution Service to consider charges over alleged unlawful access to Nottingham killing case materials.
• Investigators report no arrests to date, though several voluntary interviews have been conducted as inquiries continue.
• The allegations involve staff viewing records and images from the 2023 attacks without a legitimate work purpose, including files relating to Barnaby Webber, Grace O’Malley-Kumar and Ian Coates.
• Earlier audits found about 98 Nottingham University Hospitals staff accessed the victims’ A&E records, while separate council and police misuse led to disciplinary action.
• The IOPC has commissioned an external investigator over complaints about its handling of related policing inquiries, and a public inquiry is scheduled for next year as families condemn the intrusions as “gross and inexcusable voyeurism.”
