Once again this story is becoming a smoke screen for the real facts in this case. Why doesn't the argus look into whatley's background or dig for the reason why senior officers 'pandered' to Whatley the day after the incident before the full facts were even known by them, offering an interim payment for damages (the day after) and then the way Mr Baillon and his family were dealt with the following two years. Senior management were bending over backwards in their willingness to appear open and accountable but they got it drastically wrong! There is a hell of a lot more to this story but the general public is unfortunately never going to know about it, but why let the facts get in the way of a good story!!

Totally agree, this story is really about the inept and arrogant senior officers of Gwent police and the the HR department.In a couple of months time Gwent police could be making more payments to ex officers who were dismissed under regulation A19 after 30 years service, only this week this action was found to be unlawful"
