A Metropolitan Police detective has retired from the force before he could be sacked, after it emerged he had shown colleagues photographs of murdered model Sally Anne Bowman for what was described as "bragging rights". The case highlights ongoing concerns about misconduct and a lack of respect for victims within the Met, following a series of scandals that have damaged public trust in the force.

Sally Anne Bowman, an 18-year-old aspiring model, was murdered in 2005 in a case that attracted widespread media attention. Details of the specific disciplinary findings against the detective, and the full circumstances of his retirement, were not fully available in the source material.
