IPCC refers Kingsley Burrell investigation file to the Crown Prosecution Service

In August 2013 an IPCC investigation into the death of Kingsley Burrell found a case to answer for gross misconduct for three West Midlands Police (WMP) officers on grounds of honesty and integrity, regarding the accounts they provided under criminal caution to the IPCC investigators.

A misconduct hearing is pending.

In May this year, the inquest took place and the IPCC received a complaint on behalf of Kingsley Burrell's family about the evidence given by the WMP officers at these proceedings.

A second independent investigation has now been completed and a referral has been made to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) for them to consider if any criminal offences may have been committed.
