The British Transport Police (BTP) have launched a formal investigation into the actions of two of their officers. The probe centers on how these officers handled reports of sexual assault involving Simon Levy, who later went on to commit two murders and an additional rape.

While the investigation is currently underway, specific details regarding the timeline of the initial reports and the subsequent actions taken by the officers remain limited. The BTP has not yet released a detailed account of what specific procedural failures or oversights are being examined. The investigation serves as a review of whether the officers followed established protocols when they were first presented with allegations against Levy.

As the investigation proceeds, the focus remains on whether earlier intervention by law enforcement could have potentially prevented the later, more severe crimes committed by Levy. The BTP has confirmed the investigation is active, but has provided little information regarding the current status of the officers involved or the expected timeline for the inquiry's conclusion.
