A review carried out by the Met and Essex Police into how they searched for missing nurse Owami Davies over six weeks has cleared them of any racial bias.
Scotland Yard said such commentary did a disservice to the work done to find the 24-year-old student nurse, which was the force s biggest missing person investigation this year.
The Met made a referral to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) after making arrests on suspicion of murder amid fears the student nurse had been killed.
