Journalist to take legal action against PSNI over its ‘failure to progress’ probe into threats
Neonazi organisation Combat 18 told Patricia Devlin they would rape her son
A JOURNALIST is warning head the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) to expect legal action the over its failure to properly investigate threats made against her and her newborn son, apparently by a neonazi group.
Patricia Devlin has sent a pre-action protocol letter demanding that Chief Constable Simon Byrne provide assurances that his officers will conduct an immediate and effective investigation into violent threats made against her and her son.
In a statement she said that an application for a judicial review into the PSNI’s actions would be made to the High Court unless such assurances are provided by December 10.
