a report by the independent police complaints commission has highlighted serious failings by the forceent police arrived atjohn lowe's farm to find he had murdered to women. he shot his partner christine lee and her daughter lucy at close range using a shotgun. lowe, 82 at the time, was laterjailed for life. thejudge's recommendation was that he serve at least 25 years. it emerged that one year before the murders, lowe had a number of shotguns seized by surrey police but the weapons had then been returned to him. they included the shotgun he used on the two women. today, that decision by surrey police to hand the guns back was severely criticised by the independent police complaints commission. we found systematic failings from the local force and we also think that there are lessons to be learnt nationally for police services to ensure that their firearms licensing teams are up to the job. surrey police have apologised to the family of christine and lucy lee, saying that the decision to hand back the shotguns was flawed. it said that one firearms officer had been sacked and another re

but the independent police complaints commission say they still believe there is a case to answer forre nobody is going to be held to account. in autumn, 2015, the home office ordered a review into deaths in police custody. there've been 209 in the last ten years. the review was to find out why investigations fall short for many families and address their concerns about an apparent lack of accountability. it was expected be published last summer. its key special adviser told me that delay could leave others at risk. i'm extremely frustrated, as are the families that contributed to that review, because we want a review that makes a difference and that stops these preventable and needless deaths occurring. the home office said the report would be published in due course. the government wants to stop police cells being used for people who are in mental health crisis, and from next month, holding a child who is mentally unwell in a cell will be banned, and it will become even more difficult to do so for adults. this card from thomas's church was sent to the orchard family when the trial e
