Northern Ireland Police Review Cases Following Katie Simpson’s Death
The Police Service of Northern Ireland is reevaluating three suicide cases, sparked by concerns raised in the Katie Simpson case. A recent Police Ombudsman report criticized the investigation into the County Armagh showjumper’s 2020 death, citing a ‘lack of investigative mindset.’ Initially ruled a suicide, the circumstances surrounding her death have been reexamined after Jonathan Creswell was charged with her murder. The findings highlight significant gaps in police protocol and the impact on victim families.
