The Metropolitan Police have said there is no need for an inquiry into why they fitted up an innocent man for the 1994 killing of Rachel Nickell, when the real killer - Robert Napper, a convicted rapist and murderer - was under their noses all the time.
"No inquiry is needed, as we are fully aware of what went wrong here," said Assistant Commissioner John Yates. "Our investigation methods have changed since the 90s. Colin Stagg got banged up for a crime he didn't commit and he just wouldn't bloody shut up about it, which maintained public interest in the case. That scenario simply wouldn't happen now, as we'd have shot him in the head thirteen times when we went to arrest him. Nothing to see here. Move along."
