THE MOTHER of murdered teenager Jayden Parkinson has said she is pleased with the outcome of misconduct hearings that saw three police officers disciplined.

Samantha Shrewsbury said two officers had personally apologised to her for the mistakes they made.

Two Thames Valley Police officers were given final written warnings following misconduct proceedings about the way the initial investigation into Jayden’s disappearance was handled.

A third officer, who admitted breaching standards of professional behaviour, received a written warning after a separate hearing.

Both hearings were held on Friday.

Speaking yesterday, Miss Shrewsbury said: “The correct outcomes were established. I am pleased with the outcome.

“I do not hold the officers personally responsible, I do not have any personal bones with them. It is just they did not try to do their job properly.

“Two of the officers personally apologised to me. It is mixed emotions but the police have learned lessons and put new procedures in place since then and changed how they deal with missing persons reports.

“It does not bring Jayden back but it can only be a good thing.”

The hearings came after the three officers and one other member of staff at the force were referred to internal proceedings. This came after an investigation by the Independent Police Complaints Commission.

Jayden was 17 when she was murdered in December 2013 by her ex-boyfriend Ben Blakeley.
