A NURSE who was brutally murdered by her jealous ex-boyfriend was not told he had threatened to kill another ex two years earlier, a damning report has revealed.
Katie Cullen was stabbed 130 times in the head by Iman Saeed Ghaefelipour, 28, who also gouged out one of her eyes in the October 2009 murder.
She had complained to Greater Manchester Police after Mr Ghaefelipour threatened to kill her when she broke off their relationship.
But she was never warned that in 2007 he had threatened to kill another ex-girlfriend, with police having “little doubt” he was responsible for arson attacks on her car and home.
It led to “false reassurance” and “increased vulnerability” for Ms Cullen, said Wednesday’s report by the Independent Police Complaints Commission.
The report found a “catalogue of inaction and missed opportunities” and that Ms Cullen had been “badly let down” by police officers who handled her complaint against Mr Ghaefelipour.
On the release of her memoir that reveals everything except politics, Sturgeon’s endless media coverage has focused on her panic attacks, sexuality and personal tragedies while ignoring her government’s many failures, writes PAULINE BRYAN
