NI police officers to be prosecuted for allegedly sharing images of dead bodies

Prosecutors say there is sufficient evidence to charge serving and former officer with misconduct

A serving officer and a former officer of the Police Service of Northern Ireland are to be prosecuted for allegedly sharing images of dead bodies, including that of a person who took their own life.

There is sufficient evidence to charge the two with misconduct in public office after an investigation by the police ombudsman, the public prosecution service said on Tuesday.
