I'm wondering if those photos from the 'crime scene' that wee released by the press, came from a source within the Met that had no authority to release them.

They always do this i think its not uncommon for a force to refer themselves

By law, forces must refer certain matters to us. These include:

certain complaints made to their force – such as those that include an allegation of serious corruption or serious assault
indications that police officers or staff have committed misconduct – for example, any suggestion that a criminal offence has been committed or that a serious injury has been caused
if someone had direct or indirect contact with the police when, or shortly before, they were seriously injured or died. However, forces only need to refer cases where the contact may have caused or contributed to the death or injury "

the fact that her commiting suicide was because she had been charged means they would have to by law refer themselves

Yes, it said on the news the other night it was just normal procedure.

Just like when police shoot someone, they automatically refer themselves
