It is “abundantly clear” that police got things wrong in the initial investigation into the death of showjumper Katie Simpson, PSNI chief constable Jon Boutcher has said.
Mr Boutcher told his oversight body, the Policing Board, that he would be meeting soon with the family of Ms Simpson to discuss failures in the investigation.
Ms Simpson, who was from Tynan, Co Armagh, died in hospital almost a week after an incident in Gortnessy Meadows, Lettershandoney, on August 3, 2020.
Her murder was originally thought by police to have been a suicide.
