Mother would meet PC jailed for crime scene photos

THE mother of two murdered sisters whose bodies were photographed by police officers says she is willing to meet with one of them.

Deniz Jaffer and Jamie Lewis were jailed for taking and sharing photographs of the murder scene of Bibaa Henry and Nicole Smallman.

Their mother, Mina Smallman, told BBC Radio 4 she was “repulsed by them” but was willing to meet with Jaffer.

The Met said it was “working hard to raise standards”.

Ms Smallman also criticised the force’s culture of toxicity and said the “system is clearly broken”.

Ms Henry, 46, and Ms Smallman, 27, had been celebrating Ms Henry’s birthday at a park in Wembley, north-west London, when they were repeatedly stabbed by Danyal Hussein.

As part of her role as a guest editor of BBC Radio 4’s Today programme Ms Smallman spoke about her feelings towards the two former officers who photographed her daughters.

“I’m repulsed by them if I’m honest, and can’t wait to meet Jaffer,” she said.

“He said he would like to meet with the family and I don’t believe he thought that that could happen but it will, because he said he wanted it to happen and I’m going to give him that invitation.”

Jaffer and Lewis were jailed for 33 months each in December for their actions.
