What amazes me regarding this, is the fact that very little background information checks were made by the Metropolitan Police Force. The reason I say this is that my father was a policeman and I was was told by my parents, not only did they go through my father's background with a 'fine tooth comb' but also that of my mother's. I admit that this was a long time ago but surely in today's climate it is far more important than it was back then.
