Police were unaware of most school investigations into student's death
An investigating officer has testified that police had knowledge of only two internal probes by the school's disciplinary unit into the circumstances surrounding a student's death. This contradicts previous evidence that the school had conducted five separate investigations without informing authorities.

During proceedings, the investigating officer revealed that police were only notified of two disciplinary investigations conducted by the school in connection with the student's death. The disclosure raises fresh questions about the flow of information between the educational institution and law enforcement authorities during the investigation. Previously, testimony had established that the school's disciplinary unit had carried out five internal probes into the matter, but police were not made aware of most of these proceedings. The gap in communication between the school and investigating officers has become a significant point of contention in the case. The findings underscore potential concerns about whether all relevant information was properly disclosed to authorities investigating the death, and whether such communication failures may have impacted the thoroughness of the official inquiry.
