The force launched a re-investigation into the death of Kevin Nunes after their botched enquiry led to the murder convictions of five men being quashed.

The promising 20-year-old footballer, who had been on the books of Tottenham Hotspur, was found dead in a country lane in Pattingham, Staffordshire, on September 19, 2002.
