A police watchdog is investigating whether police failed to properly handle the disappearance of tragic Richard Okorogheye because of his ethnicity.

Today the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) confirmed it is probing the Met Police response after the 19-year-old vanished from his home in Ladbroke Grove in West London.
