About this episode

The episode discusses the PSNI's inadequate handling of a case involving Jonathan Creswell, who later murdered showjumper Katie Simpson, and the need for a public inquiry.

Further criticism has been piled on police in Northern Ireland in relation to their handling of a case in the run up to the murder of showjumper Katie Simpson where the PSNI ‘inadequately’ investigated a complaint of indecent exposure by her killer Jonathan Creswell. Journalist Tanya Fowles says a public inquiry into the PSNI and the murder of Katie Simpson should be a priority to restore trust and respect in the police service. Today she tells Nicola of the overdue vindication of another of his victims who bravely made a complaint about what he did to her at a stable yard - five years before he killed Katie.
