BREAKING: Samantha Lee investigated a complaint made about Wayne Couzens shortly before he went on to kill.
Panel chairman Darren Snow found this dishonesty amounted to gross misconduct, and that had Ms Lee still been a serving officer, she would have been dismissed from the force.
He added that the panel believed Ms Lee had been driven to dishonesty by the "pressure" of the investigation.Sarah Everard was murdered by Couzens soon after the indecent exposure incidents "As much as I have thought it over and over, I don't believe that anything I could have done would have changed the tragic outcome of what happened later that day," she said.
The 999 call, made by the McDonald's manager on 28 February, prompted the operator to run the registration details of the black Seat Exeo through the police national computer which confirmed it was registered to Wayne Couzens and gave his home address, but didn't show he was he was a serving police officer.
