POLICE spending on the historical abuse inquiry may have run out of control under Lenny Harper, Home Affairs are claiming.

AS early as 24 hours after what was called ‘the potential remains of a child’ were discovered at Haut de la Garenne police were told by forensic archaeologists that it probably pre-dated the inquiry.

LENNY Harper still insists that the remains of children were found at Haut de la Garenne.

FORMER Home Affairs Minister Wendy Kinnard today denied that her resignation had anything to do with the historical abuse inquiry.

THE police team investigating the discovery of bones at Haut de la Garenne were told that they might be rabbit remains – on the day they announced the recovery of ‘the potential remains of a child’.

LAWYERS are going to court to overturn the Health Minister’s refusal to pay for special therapeutic care in the UK for vulnerable children from Jersey.

LENNY Harper has strongly defended his leadership of the historical child abuse inquiry and says that his handling of the media was vital in bringing victims forward.

STATES police chief Graham Power, who was suspended yesterday amid allegations that he failed in his duty to ensure that the historical child abuse inquiry was conducted properly, will fight back against all allegations, he has told the JEP.

THE full cost of the excavations at Haut de la Garenne was revealed for the first time yesterday.

AS police chief Graham Power was suspended from his post pending the results of an inquiry, Senator Wendy Kinnard, who as Home Affairs Minister had political responsibility for the police until last month, when she resigned from office, was nowhere to be seen.
