Police to reopen investigation into alleged assault by Caroline Flack prior to her death.

In February 2020, the tragic news of TV presenter Caroline Flack's death at the young age of 40 shocked the world. It was a heartbreaking loss for her loved ones and fans alike. Flack had been facing prosecution for assaulting her boyfriend, Lewis Burton, and the lead-up to this decision is now being reinvestigated by the Metropolitan Police.

It has come to light that there may be new witness evidence that was not previously considered. This has prompted the police force to take a closer look at the actions of their officers in appealing the Crown Prosecution Service's recommendation for Flack to receive a caution instead of being charged. This decision was ultimately overturned and Flack was charged with assault by beating.

The circumstances leading up to Flack's death have been a source of criticism for the authorities, particularly from her mother, Chris. She has spoken out about feeling let down by the way the case was handled and has made a complaint to compel an officer to give a statement that should have been given four years ago. The family is desperate for answers and feels that important questions have been left unanswered.

The Metropolitan Police have confirmed that they have received a complaint from the Flack family and have referred it to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC). The majority of the matters raised have already been addressed, but one aspect has been sent back to the Directorate of Professional Standards for further investigation. This is related to the actions of the officers involved in the appeal process and the possibility of new witness evidence.

The IOPC has also stated that they have returned one aspect of the complaint to the Met as there may be new witness evidence available. This pertains to the officers' actions in appealing the CPS's initial decision not to charge Flack. The CPS eventually reconsidered their advice and authorized the criminal charge that Flack tragically could not bear.
