Text
The murder of Katie Simpson was an absolutely horrific event. The failings that occurred before Katie's death and in the investigation afterwards are a blight on our society. It is important that none of that is repeated. As the previous Member referenced, not just the PSNI but many bodies are involved. Does the Minister agree that it is essential that there is compliance from all the agencies involved?
