EIGHT South Wales Police (SWP) officers have been served with misconduct notices as part of an independent body’s investigation into a Barry woman’s death.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) has served the notices as part of its ongoing investigation into contact with Lisa Moller before her death on Sunday, August 31, this year.

The ambulance service contacted SWP at 10.50am to say that the body of Ms Moller, 35, was discovered in a property on Cwrt Eirlys, in Barry.

SWP officers were twice called out by a neighbour overnight to attend reported incidents at the house.

They attended the property again at around 9.30am, but could not make contact with the woman occupant on any of the occasions.

IPCC investigators have served six police constables with notices in connection with their actions on the day of Ms Moller’s death.

Two sergeants are being investigated regarding their supervision of junior officers.

Investigators have completed house-to-house enquiries in the area, and identified witnesses to their investigation.

Call logs from August 31 and radio transcripts have also been examined.

IPCC Commissioner for Wales, Jan Williams, said: "We have kept Ms Moller’s family updated and continue to have every sympathy for them at this difficult time.”

The IPCC investigation began following a referral from South Wales Police. The IPCC is not investigating Ms Moller’s death.

Serving a police officer or member of staff with a notice advises them their conduct is subject to investigation and is not judgmental in any way.

SWP continue to investigate Ms Moller’s death.
