VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – There will not be a misconduct investigation into two VPD officers who did not warn a pregnant woman that someone may be trying to kill her.

This morning, the BC Court of Appeal decided to quash the Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner‘s order for an investigation into Detective Constable Craig Bentley and Staff Sergeant John Grywinski’s handling of the tip in 2005.

In this case, Bentley informed Grywinski, his supervisor, that he had received a tip that someone was trying to kill 21-year-old Tasha Rosette. But the pair decided to investigate further, rather than warn her.

Five days after they made that choice, Rosette was found stabbed to death in Surrey.

However, there will be no further investigation into the matter; the Appeal court judges have determined that the complaint commissioner’s order does not comply with the Police Act, as there is no “new information” or “public interest” component present, which would justify re-opening the investigation.
