Detective chief inspector Chris Soole sent more than 1,000 'personal, intimate and sexually explicit' messages to two female officers from May to November last year on a Met-issued phone. As a Met detective, Soole worked on major cases including the murder of Jaden Moodie, 14, who was stabbed to death in Leyton, east London, in 2019. A misconduct report found Soole exchanged 715 messages with one female officer 'of a personal, inappropriate or sexual nature' and 300 with another. Detective chief superintendent Ahenkora Bediako, of the Met's professionalism command, said Soole's 'inappropriate' messages, often sent on duty, 'appalled' the force. A misconduct investigation into the two female officers remains ongoing.
