who was fined for wasting police time when she reported the stalker ex who went on to murder her.

Shana Grice, 19, reported Michael Lane five times before he slit her throat and tried to burn her body.

Her parents slammed Sussex Police for “treating her like a criminal”, adding the action was “too little too late”.

A report found stalking cases were not being properly investigated.

Two officers – one retired – will face gross misconduct proceedings at public hearings in May.

A third officer faces internal misconduct action.

‘Poor attitude’

Sharon Grice and Richard Green said: “Our daughter took her concerns to the police and instead of being protected was treated like a criminal. She paid for the police’s lack of training, care and poor attitude with her life.

“It’s only right that the police make changes, but it’s too little, too late for Shana.

“Sussex Police should not be applauded for this.”
