A police chief accused of covering up the Stephen Lawrence spying scandal is dodging disciplinary action by retiring.
The official watchdog concluded this week that Richard Walton, who heads Scotland Yard’s anti-terror unit, has a case to answer for misconduct.
It is alleged he was involved in a secret plot by a disgraced undercover unit to gather intelligence on the family of murdered Stephen in the late 1990s.

The mother of Mark Duggan, who was shot fatally by police, has described Wednesday’s report from the police watchdog clearing the officers of any wrongdoing as “another slap in the face” for her family. Pam Duggan said the family had cooperated with the Independent Police Complaints Commission, but had been “let down again”.
The IPCC report said Mark Duggan – whose 2011 shooting in Tottenham, north London, sparked the worst riots of recent times across cities and towns in England – was probably in the process of throwing away a handgun when he was shot.

Police failed a teenage girl who was stabbed more than 60 times by her jealous and controlling ex-boyfriend by not taking seriously reports by her family about their worries, an inquest has concluded.
Arsema Dawit was 15 when Thomas Nugusse killed her at a block of flats in Waterloo, central London, in June 2008.
Her family had reported Nugusse to the police about five weeks before she died, saying he had threatened to assault and kill her, but they did not feel their concerns were taken seriously enough.
