Police fined her for reporting her stalker boyfriend, then he killed her
The 19-year-old had caught him trailing her in her car and creeping into her bedroom after stealing a spare house key, breathing near her as she hid under her comforter and waited for him to leave, prosecutors later said. Then there were the seven phone calls from a blocked number in one day, with silence on the other end, according to The Argus.
"When we looked at the circumstances leading to Shana's murder, we felt we may not have done the very best we could," Sussex Police Assistant Chief Constable Nick May said in the statement. After Wednesday's report from the IOPC, Grice's parents, Richard Green and Sharon Grice, said the police "should not be applauded."
Prosecutor Philip Bennetts later told the court that Lane had become "obsessed" with the 19-year-old woman, watching her every move, according to the Belfast Telegraph. But Grice, who was working for the U.K.-based grocery wholesaler Palmer & Harvey, never showed up at her job, according to the Argus. Authorities responded for a welfare check at Grice's home in Portslade Village and found her dead, facedown on her bed in her smoke-choked bedroom, according to the Press Association.
