Three police officers will face
disciplinary actions because they did not act on warning signs to prevent the
murder of Marion Millican.
Fred McClenaghan murdered his ex-lover and
was found guilty on Tuesday. However police officers should have acted on the
warnings received. In counselling sessions McClenaghan talked about killing
himself and Mrs Millican. Also someone provided the information that
McClenaghan had bought a gun on which the police took no action.
The police Ombudsman’s Office took the view
that the police did not take the right actions.
Mrs Millican, mother-of-four, was shot dead
by an antique double-barrelled gun in March 2011
Opinion:
How awful to read that this man was
reported to the police but they failed to take action. This
could have saved a
woman’s life. I understand that the police can’t act on everything but when
there are more signs they should protect us. The police are there to protect us
but in this case they failed.
