Richard Okorogheye death: Family reject apology from Met Police.
The family of Richard Okorogheye has rejected an apology from the Met Police over failings in the handling of initial reports that he was missing.
She added: "It is a matter of deep regret to me that despite both the IOPC and Metropolitan Police concluding that the performance of three police officers, including an inspector, and three call handlers fell short of the standard expected, nobody will face misconduct proceedings."CCTV images showed Mr Okorogheye on 23 March walking alone towards Epping Forest
Richard was first reported missing on 23 March last year and his body was recovered from a lake in Epping Forest nearly a fortnight later, on 5 April. A call handler inaccurately recorded Mr Okorogheye's condition as anaemia rather than sickle cell anaemia on the initial police report A constable failed to add to the missing person report concerns raised by Richard's GP about the risks his condition posed to him. The officer assumed this was not new information
