  • "PSNI failed to do even the most basic police work" - Allison Morris on police failings in Katie Simpson murder investigation

    "PSNI failed to do even the most basic police work" - Allison Morris on police failings in Katie Simpson murder investigation
    2024/11/12
    The Police Ombudsman says the PSNI investigation into the death of Katie Simpson was “flawed and failed her family”. The 21-year-old died in hospital a week after an incident where her sister’s partner, Jonathan Creswell, claimed to have found her mid-suicide attempt. In reality, he had repeatedly attacked her. Police failed to question Katie’s death, despite Creswell’s violent history and physical signs of abuse on her body. He was later charged with her murder but took his life one day into the trial earlier this year. Ciarán Dunbar is joined by Allison Morris.

    The Newry actress, the Iraqi businessman and the multi-million-pound gangster film scam
    2024/11/11
    In the making of a film ironically titled ‘A Landscape of Lies’, Newry born actress Aoife Madden was joined by a wealthy Iraqi businessman to try their hand at making it on the big screen. But what appeared as a lifelong dream was really all about conning investors and the tax man out of millions. Madden (the niece of Sinn Fein Finance minister Conor Murphy) was part of a team which scammed HMRC £2.8 million to produce a movie which she falsely promised to have a star-studded cast. Kurtis Reid joins Ciarán Dunbar.
