Her killer is currently serving a life sentence
The claims were made during a pre-inquest review hearing on Wednesday at Bradford Coroner’s Court, which was held to consider whether a full inquest into Miss Fields’ death was needed.
Leeds student Bethany Fields, 21, was killed by Paul Crowther in Huddersfield town centre in 2019. Pictured right, Bradford Coroners Court where her inquest was held.West Yorkshire Police officer who took a statement from the young environmental geography student had failed to upload it onto an official system until eight days after receiving it. This officer, Miss Gilchrist explained, was “very junior” and was on a probationary period at the time, with limited supervision while dealing with the case.
She added: “The knock on effect was that this case was not given the due care and attention it deserved.” Miss Gilchrist went on to argue that the South West Yorkshire Partnership Trust NHS Foundation Trust, which she said had a duty of care for Crowther between 2014 and 2019, had not investigated his diagnosis further when there were signs of psychosis as early as 2015. However, the hearing in Bradford was told that the trust does not accept it failed in diagnosing Crowther.
