Met says officers spoke to student nurse on 6 July after welfare concerns
Photograph: Metropolitan Police/PAPhotograph: Metropolitan Police/PAThe police watchdog is investigating Scotland Yard after it emerged that officers spoke with Owami Davies, the student nurse who was reported missing in early July.
The 24-year-old’s family reported her missing to Essex police on 6 July and the force handed the investigation to the Metropolitan police on 23 July. The force said its professional standards body was consulted and is not investigating the officers. But it said the Independent Office for Police Conduct requested that the matter was referred to them.
“The interaction recorded on the officers’ body-worn video has been viewed by members of the Independent Advisory Group and Owami’s family to ensure openness and transparency.”
