The Worst Hour of Her Career | Bristol News
Description
A police officer reveals the “worst hour” of her career — when she believed a registered sex offender, Richard Scatchard, should’ve been arrested for manslaughter after his partner Kelly Faiers died from alcohol and sleeping pills. Despite her instincts and another officer’s observations that Scatchard seemed nervous and evasive, a superior opted for a statement instead of detention, fearing escalation. Scatchard vanished the next day and was later found dead in a caravan. The inquest continues, and officers now regret not acting on their gut feelings — a chilling case where judgment clashed with protocol, with deadly consequences.
