THE mother of a teenage girl murdered by her Solihull father called police 102 times over concerns about him before she died, police watchdogs have revealed.
But investigators found there was a tendency for some officers to characterise desperate Jayne Jones’ concerns and allegations as her “tending to over-react”.
Gary Fisher, who had a history of violence, turned on teenage daughter Chanelle Sasha Jones, stabbing her 22 times as she sat in the passenger seat of his car in August last year.
After stabbing Chanelle, Fisher drove around west Wales with the body of the 17-year-old in his car for ten hours until stopped by police.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission ruled officers from Dyfed Powys Police had acted correctly in how they responded to reports of her disappearance.
