IPCC statement on Criminal Cases Review Commission reference relating to murder of Karen Price

Following today's CCRC reference to the Court of Appeal IPCC Commissioner Jan Williams said;

"Today’s Criminal Cases Review Commission reference to the Court of Appeal in relation to Alan Charlton’s conviction raises important questions about the conduct of South Wales Police during the 1980s and 1990s. In the light of questions around other similar cases, this clearly raises serious issues for public confidence in the integrity of the force at that time.

We therefore expect South Wales Police to review all the evidence from the CCRC, make a decision and record and refer any conduct issues that may come to light and which may then require IPCC action."
