The Forensic Graeme Irvine ordered a PC and a sergeant to the Court on Friday morning (April 11) for a dressing about what he called “the straw that broke his back from the camel.”
He said that the afflicted family of a young woman believed to have tasks that her life faced her prolonged complaint because with an unfulfilled court order and failed to produce vital evidence.
Unless the force can “weave some kind of magic,” he said, his research would have to be delayed.
“I have not seen much magic in the last two years, to be brutally honest,” he said. “It’s not good enough.”
He said about the last two years, the quality references of the death and the provision of evidence of the with collapse and wanted the force to know how “irritated” it was him.
Unless an officer found himself “grabbing the witness box” while “shouted by a coroner,” he suggested: “Nothing will change.”
He warned the PC that the officers who could not execute their orders would end after bars, not their bosses.
“It seems to me that you should protect yourself,” he said. “If judicial orders are not followed, they can follow the procedures under the law of contempt to the court and that can cause people to go to prison.
“That does not apply to your sergeant. It does not apply to your service inspector. It applies to you.”
The Court of the Forensic Court of East London referred to Anna Bellamy, 23, found dead at her home at Howard Road, Upminster, on October 27.
In November, Mr. Irvine ordered the dissemination of evidence of the MET, the ambulance service, the head doctor of Miss Bellamy and others.
“Everyone else has done their job,” he said. “The only atypical is the metropolitan police service.”
He had ordered that his electronic devices were interrogated for any evidence that he intended to end his life.
But in an evidential review recently, “I found my horror that electronic devices have not moved from the police station. They have not gone to anyone no one has been a movement to interrogate thesis devices.”
Ordered in the witness box, PC Muhammad Asad said: “That is my fault … there is no excuse. Not for forensic. Not for the family.”
“I am grateful for its transparency and its frankness,” the coroner replied. “I will be very frank with you. The reason you are here is not strictly for this case or Miss Bellamy.”
“You have heard the phrase before, the straw that broke your back from the camel,” he continued.
“I am that camel and at this time, I am very heavy loading with many straw beaches of the failures of the Metropolitan Police Service to do their job.”
“We do not do that here because we understand the daily pressures that exist the Metropolitan Police Service in terms of personnel.
“But if this service continues to fail to provide appropriate evidence to this court, that is what will happen.”
He warned that if the MET digital forensic team “accelerated” the analysis of Miss Bellamy’s phone, “I will call them and talk to the court.”
He told PC Asad that he would not send him to the police guardian dog, but ordered him to write to Miss Bellamy’s family “explaining what went wrong.”
“They deserve an explanation,” he said.
He told the PC Asad sergeant, in the public gallery: “Go and talk to the service inspector and explain where you have the leg today, what I had to say and what goes to the snacks unless there is a significant improvement.
“I already have my leg in contact with the county commander on this case.”

Superintendent Neal Donohoe said: “We deeply regret any anguish that this may have caused to Anna’s family and offer our sincere apologies.
“I totally accept that we do not carry out the Forensic request in a timely manner and that they have not been below the standards that the public expects rightly.
“We have talked to the forensic office and we will solve this matter as quickly as possible.”
He could not comment on the widest criticisms of the Forensic.
