THREE police officers have been referred to misconduct proceedings in relation to the disappearance of murdered Didcot teenager Jayden Parkinson.

The officers, along with another member of staff at Thames Valley Police, will face the internal process following an investigation by the Independent Police Complaints Commission.

The IPCC looked into TVP’s response to the schoolgirl being reported missing and the Force’s contact with her before she was murdered by Ben Blakeley in December 2013.

Blakeley was found guilty of murder at Oxford Crown Court in July and sentenced to life in prison, with a minimum of 20 years.
