Jonathan Creswell: Review into handling of Katie Simpson murder accused

Advertisements

McAllister welcomed the development.

In a statement she said: “Creswell had a violent history and a criminal record which reflected this.

“I have seen evidence which shows that opportunities were missed from PSNI … where PPANI arrangements should have been in place to manage this violent offender.

“I will continue to use my position on the Policing Board to seek clarity and accountability for these failings.”

Ms Simpson, 21, died six days after being admitted to Altnagelvin Hospital in Londonderry in August 2020.

Police initially treated her death as suicide.

At his trial, it was alleged Creswell, 36, strangled her and tried to cover it up by claiming she had hanged herself.

He was found dead at his home on the second day of his trial in April.
