Police officers dismissed over Bijan Ebrahimi murder
Today saw the conclusion of the final disciplinary hearing following the murder of Bijan Ebrahimi on 14 July 2013.
PC Leanne Winter and PC Helen Harris were dismissed without notice following a public hearing led by an independent legally qualified chair.
Following a lengthy investigation, the IPCC identified 10 police officers and 9 police staff with a case to answer for misconduct.
Of these 19 officers and staff, four of them - PC Kevin Duffy, PC Helen Harris, PC Leanne Winter and PCSO Andrew Passmore - were charged with the criminal offence of misconduct in public office.
Mr Ebrahimi, 44, was beaten to death and his body set on fire by neighbour Lee James, who wrongly believed he was a paedophile.
Last month PC Kevin Duffy and PSCO Andrew Passmore were jailed after they were found guilty of misconduct in a public office in connection with the death.
