I am incredibly proud my investigation into Leicestershire Police has been shortlisted for Investigation of the Year – Regional at the Society of Editors' Media Freedom Awards.
The reporting revealed that 80-year-old Bhim Kohli was a repeat victim of ASB who had refused to turn a blind eye to trouble in his neighbourhood before his tragic death.
Most importantly, the findings from my investigation were handed directly by Bhim's family to the IOPC to help secure a fresh, formal review.
