Two Met officers sacked over Katie Price son messages
The ruling comes weeks after Baroness Casey's year-long review into the force highlighted cases where officers were told to delete messages that might incriminate them.
The panel's legal chair Christopher McKay said the messages had caused "significant harm" to the "already tarnished reputation of the Metropolitan Police Service ", and had upset TV presenter Ms Price and her son. Following the panel's ruling, the Met apologised to the Prices, with Cdr Savell saying: "I was repulsed and ashamed to read the deeply offensive messages sent by these officers and I utterly condemn their behaviour.The panel's findings come at a time when the Met has confirmed plans to roll out access to WhatsApp on all work phones.
