The misconduct hearing heard that Manning was sent to an assisted residence for elderly people in Dalston, east London, where he and other officers discovered a resident who had died “some days or weeks earlier”.<\/p>\n
PC Zak Malik took photos of the dead man on his personal phone and sent them to Manning on WhatsApp. <\/p>\n
Malik sent the images so he could reduce the file size and upload them to the Met’s system, the hearing was told.<\/p>\n
Manning deleted the photos from his iPhone library but did not delete them from his WhatsApp. <\/p>\n
When Malik realised the photo was still on WhatsApp and warned Manning, he replied with three laughing face emojis.<\/p>\n
At a training course at a Shoreditch police station the following year, Manning was discussing “difficult situations” with fellow officers and decided to show them the photo of the dead man, saying: “I’ve been to a bad one, I will show you the picture.”<\/p>\n
Two officers “felt very uncomfortable” and reported him.<\/p>\n
Manning was then arrested and his mobile was seized. Other pictures were found relating to victims, suspects and evidence. He claimed what he did was “common practice”.<\/p>\n
It was also discovered that he was the creator of a WhatsApp group called “Away Days” containing sexist, homophobic, ableist and transphobic content.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The misconduct hearing heard that Manning was sent to an assisted residence for elderly people in Dalston, east…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":564029,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[59,57,58,50,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-564028","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-gb","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/564028","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=564028"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/564028\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/564029"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=564028"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=564028"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=564028"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
