Cop Lied After Man Found Dead in Unsearched Room
9 Jun
Summary
- Officer failed to search the room where a man was later found dead.
- The officer resigned after being found guilty of gross misconduct.
- The victim died of brain injuries after an unprovoked attack.
A police officer, PC Lucy Guy, resigned from Greater Manchester Police after being found guilty of gross misconduct. She failed to search the room of David Aubert, 59, who was later discovered dead inside his accommodation. Guy had falsely claimed to have conducted a thorough search when she had only briefly entered a communal area.
Mr. Aubert had suffered an unprovoked attack on June 2, 2022, and died later that day from brain injuries. His brother, Eddie Aubert, expressed disappointment with the officer's lack of duty of care, noting that David's body lay undiscovered for days while he was nearby.
An investigation revealed that PC Guy's claims of a second visit to the property and checking Mr. Aubert's door were disproven by evidence. The disciplinary panel found her actions to be dishonest, and she would have been dismissed had she not resigned prior to the hearing.
