Police worker gets misconduct warning over handling of 999 call before four deaths
A police staff member has been given a final written warning for misconduct over their handling of a 999 call made by a man before he apparently killed three family members and himself. Officers found the bodies of Bartlomiej Kuczynski, 45, his two daughters Jasmin Kuczynska, 12, and eight-year-old Natasha Kuczynska and their aunt Kanticha Sukpengpanao, 36, on January 19 2024. The four were all found inside a property in Allan Bedford Crescent in Costessey, Norfolk. Post-mortem examinations recorded that all four died of neck wounds. The deaths of the two girls and their aunt were being treated as murder, while the death of Mr Kuczynski was not being treated as suspicious. Norfolk Police said officers were not looking for anyone else in connection with the killings. The force had received a 999 call from Mr Kuzcynski on the morning of January 19 but officers were not deployed to the address until an hour later when police were called by a concerned dog walker, watchdog the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) said. In an audio recording of the call, Mr Kuczynski said: 'I am walking with the knife, I have just lost the plot.' Mr Kuczynski expressed concerns about his own mental state and said he was confused. The call handler advised him to seek medical advice and police did not attend the property as a result of the call. When questioned as part of the IOPC investigation, the call handler said he did not hear the word 'knife' and would have acted differently had he done so. The call handler was initially suspended but returned to work following a review and was put on restricted duties. Norfolk Police said on Friday that a member of staff had been given a final written warning following a misconduct investigation into the handling of the 999 call. The force said in a statement: 'The IOPC investigation concluded the call handler had a case to answer for misconduct based on their handling of the call and failing to record their risk assessment in their decision-making. 'The force accepted this conclusion, and a misconduct meeting was held on June 26 2025 where the chair determined misconduct to be proven and issued a final written warning for 12 months.' The misconduct meeting was not held in public. Norfolk Police said that the worker remains employed by the force as a member of police staff, and is no longer on restricted duties. A full inquest into the deaths is anticipated to take place in 2026 pending the completion of a Domestic Homicide Review.

Devil's Den Suspect Looked 'Soulless,' Says Hairdresser Who Cut His Hair
Adriana Ruiz Avalos says she unknowingly gave a haircut to accused killer Andrew McGann — and was stunned when he was arrested in her Arkansas salon days after the Devil's Den murdersNEED TO KNOW Hairdresser Adriana Ruiz Avalos said accused killer Andrew James McGann seemed 'soulless' and something about him immediately felt off She recalled his hair being unusually dry and matted as she began the haircut After learning who he was, she said the experience left her overwhelmed and heartbroken for the victims' childrenDays after a double murder at Devil's Den State Park in Arkansas, the man accused of stabbing a couple in front of their young daughters was arrested mid-haircut — and the stylist who served him says she had an eerie feeling from the moment he sat down. 'As soon as I saw him, as I was telling him to come into my chair, I had an eerie feeling about him,' hairstylist Adriana Ruiz Avalos said on NewsNation of the suspect, Andrew James McGann. Before the haircut began, Ruiz Avalos' aunt — who also works at the salon — asked McGann to sign his name. He allegedly stared back blankly. 'Something kind of didn't feel right,' Avalos recalled, based on her aunt's reaction. 'He looked soulless. He didn't look right," she said, describing his eyes as 'very sunken in' and his hair as 'very dry and matted.' Ruiz Avalos also offered a chilling detail about his behavior as police moved in: 'He had his head down the whole time. He really didn't say anything until they were like, 'I believe it's your car.'' McGann, 26, walked into Lupita's Beauty Salon in Springdale, Ark., on July 30, nearly five days after police allege he fatally stabbed Clinton David Brink, 43, and Cristen Amanda Brink, 41, while they hiked with their daughters, ages 7 and 9. Ruiz Avalos said a hairdressing cape was still around McGann's neck when officers handcuffed him. The Brink's daughters survived and ran for help, providing descriptions that helped lead investigators to McGann. Authorities matched a black Kia Stinger seen near the park and DNA evidence to McGann after surveillance footage placed him at the scene.

Police have not disclosed a motive, saying in a press conference the attack appeared entirely random. McGann did not enter a plea at his Friday morning hearing and is being held without bond. Now, as she grapples with the shock of having once been so close to someone accused of such brutality, Ruiz Avalos says she's still processing what happened. 'It does take a toll on someone. I'm just overwhelmed. I'm saddened because two little girls lost their parents," she said. "And it's … a soulless act by Andrew. It's unimaginable." Read the original article on People
