Two officers under investigation for alleged errors in search for student

One London officer is alleged not to have passed on medical information about Richard Okorogheye

Two Metropolitan police officers have been placed under investigation for alleged errors made when Richard Okorogheye went missing, a fortnight before he was found dead in Epping Forest.

The 19-year-old, who had sickle cell anaemia, went missing from his west London home in March with his concerned family raising the alarm with police. One officer is alleged not to have passed on potentially important medical information about Okorogheye's vulnerabilities.
