Sensational stories ‘don’t come from us’

SOME politicians believe that senior police officers have been feeding the national media with tales of mass murders and sex orgies at Haut de la Garenne.

But deputy police chief Lenny Harper told the JEP this week that sensational stories, including claims that six or seven bodies were lying under floorboards at the former children’s home, had appeared in print when the media had been told nothing of the sort.

He said that some politicians were less experienced in dealing with the national media than chief officer Graham Power or him.

He said that some comments from those politicians had arisen from a misunderstanding and a failure to differentiate between what he had said to the national media and what had been transformed into print.
