THIS IS ACTUALLY OK UNDER MUHAMMAD/ALLAHS IDEOLOGY. ‘In my view, Katie was badly let down by Greater Manchester Police. ‘Our investigation has exposed a catalogue of inaction and missed opportunities. Katie and her family deserved better.’ Miss Cullen’s mutilated body was found in a pool of blood at her home in Stockport on October 22 2009. Her right eye was missing, later found dumped in a plastic bag, along with the knife that was used to kill her. Pizza delivery worker Ghaefelipour was sentenced to life in prison at Manchester Crown Court in April 2010. The IPCC report said that in August 2007 an ex-girlfriend of Ghaefelipour called police to report he was harassing her and had made threats to kill her. Shortly afterwards, two serious arson attacks were made on her car and home. These crimes were investigated by the police but the IPCC said the investigations were ‘inadequate’ and no charges were brought, although the police had little doubt that Ghaefelipour was responsible for both attacks. Miss Cullen began a six-month relationship with Ghaefelipour in March 2008. During that time she reported to the police that Ghaefelipour had stolen £3,000 from her bank account, but she withdrew this allegation in September 2008 as it appeared she hoped to recover the money through direct agreement with him. But in May 2009 she began a new relationship and in June, she and her boyfriend encountered Ghaefelipour in a McDonald’s restaurant where he attacked Miss Cullen and threatened to kill them both. She went to police and though the incident was graded a ‘priority’, requiring a response within the hour, follow-up action was delayed 26 times, Miss Cullen was ‘passed from pillar to post’ and she was not seen by police until June 22, the IPCC report found. Having checked the Police National Computer, one of the officers advised Miss Cullen that there were no ‘warning’ markers against Ghaefelipour on the system. Later the officers checked the internal intelligence system and discovered Ghaefelipour’s history with the previous ex-girlfriend. But they decided not to contact Miss Cullen and pass on the information because, the report said, ‘they were not required to do so by policy or procedure’ because he had not actually been charged or convicted of the suspected offences. A referral to GMP’s domestic violence unit resulted in a standard letter and information booklet being sent to Miss Cullen. But due to the misspelling of her first name and Ghaefelipour’s surname, no trace of either was found on the intelligence system, so no connection was made by the unit with Ghaefelipour’s history.
