Murder Case Misconduct Detective To Keep Job

Written By Unknown on Kamis, 23 Januari 2014 | 18.54

A detective disciplined for not following arrest guidelines in the Becky Godden-Edwards murder case will keep his job, police say.

Detective Superintendent Steve Fulcher had previously been found to have breached murderer Christopher Halliwell's rights by failing to caution him and denying him a solicitor in an attempt to force information out of him.

Although 49-year-old taxi driver Halliwell was jailed for life for killing Sian O'Callaghan, the charge that he murdered Rebecca Godden-Edwards was dismissed due to Mr Fulcher's mistake.

A police disciplinary upheld three allegations of gross misconduct over alleged breaches of Wiltshire Police's policy and the Police and Criminal Evidence Act (Pace).

Two related to the execution of his duty during the Sian O'Callaghan and Becky Godden-Edwards case in March 2011 and one related to inappropriate contact with the media around 12 months later.

The police watchdog report found Mr Fulcher breached the act and ignored orders from his own force during the high-profile inquiry in Swindon.

"The panel have upheld the allegation that Detective Superintendent Fulcher committed gross misconduct by breaching the standards of professional behaviour as outlined by the Police Conduct Regulations 2008," a force spokesman said.

"The panel has decided the most appropriate action is for Detective Superintendent Fulcher to be given a final written warning.

"He will remain within Wiltshire Police."
