Birmingham riot deaths: Police officer 'reckless' | Birmingham riot deaths: Police officer 'reckless' |
(34 minutes later) | |
A police officer who investigated the deaths of three men in Birmingham during the 2011 riots would have had a case to answer for gross misconduct. | |
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) found Det Insp Khalid Kiyani was "reckless" in his conduct regarding the investigation. | |
Det Insp Kiyani would have faced police disciplinary procedures had he not retired from the force in October 2012. | |
The IPCC found no case to answer for misconduct against Det Ch Insp Tagg. | |
Det Ch Insp Anthony Tagg was the senior investigating officer in the murder case. | |
On 10 August 2011 three men, Haroon Jahan, 20, and brothers Shazad Ali, 30, and Abdul Musavir, 31, died after being hit by a car in Winson Green, Birmingham. | |
Eight men were subsequently charged with their murder and a trial commenced on 19 April 2012 at Birmingham Crown Court. | |
The trial heard on 11 August 2011 Det Insp Kiyani offered immunity from prosecution in exchange for witness statements at a public meeting. | |
He alleged Det Ch Insp Tagg had authorised the promise of immunity, which Det Ch Insp Tagg denied, the IPCC report said. | |
In July 2012 the eight men accused of murder were found not guilty by a jury. |
