Cumbria officers investigated over murder of Carlisle woman
Two police officers have been told they will face a misconduct investigation in relation to their actions prior to the murder of mother-of-two Melinda Korosi.
Two police officers have been told they will face a misconduct investigation in relation to their actions prior to the murder of mother-of-two Melinda Korosi.
Ms Korosi was killed in her Carlisle home in a frenzied attack by her former partner Miklos Verebes in September 2016 just 36 hours after being arrested on suspicion of raping her.
Verebes was jailed for life in March this year after a jury convicted him raping and murdering the 33-year-old.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) investigation, which began soon after Ms Korosis death, is looking at the contact she had with Cumbria Constabulary, including any measures to safeguard her welfare and the actions taken following reports of rape and assault.
An IPCC spokesperson said: “Based on the evidence collected so far the IPCC investigator has decided there is an indication of misconduct by a detective constable and a detective sergeant at the force.
“Both officers have been notified.”
All other officers involved in this case are being treated as witnesses at this time.
A police spokesperson said: “Cumbria Constabulary can confirm that two officers are being investigated by the IPCC in relation to their actions prior to the death of Melinda Korosi.”
