Eve, who had reported the attack within hours, said she had never withdrawn her complaint and the destruction of evidence was"not something I ever could have foreseen".
Eve said she was alarmed at"the thought that there are other people that have to go through this anguish".In a statement, police denied there was a"decision made to destroy evidence in contradiction of the Retention and Disposal Schedule", which requires records in sexual assault cases to be kept for 75 years.
Eve's police investigation file, released under Right to Information laws, records testing only of a"high vaginal" swab and not for other samples in the rape kit or her dress and underwear. "In my view, the fact that her private information was actually interfered with, without her knowledge and consent, would be a clear breach of Section 25 of the Human Rights Act," Ms Sarkozi said.
I hope that every person involved gets the sack. An internal review of proceedures. Maybe only the senior DDP staff can order the police they can destroy evidence.
can't wait for the queensland police's funny tweets about this!
If I'm in her shoes, I wouldn't commit suicide. I would use what's left of my life to hunt down those who were responsible for what happened.
QldPolice There has always been something wrong with Queensland policing. Perfect one day corrupt the next.
Sorry to hear that...but if this was one of there own then it's a different attitude from them
TOTALLY disgusting
No surprise from police anywhere in Australia...........more than likely it the cost first. Full of themselves and know everything.
Haven't got tome to read the story .... just the headline. Is this about Bill Shortens alleged rape ? Not pursued by Vicpol ?
