In February 2013 Lancashire Police, on a tip off from the Russian Interior Ministry, arrested a man in Skelmersdale and found a stash of pornography. But amongst the stash was what is being called the first known evidence of a snuff film.
But despite their faces being clearly visible Lancashire Police have sat on the film and have not passed it on to anyone, such as CEOP or the US FBI, or made any effort to identify the killer or his young victim.
So why the delay? And what is happening now? The pathetic excuse being offered is:
Lancashire Police, like almost all regional police forces in Britain, does not have a specialist child pornography investigation unit.
The Sunday Express understands that the general volume of work at Lancashire Police has caused the delay in contacting CEOP.
However, the video will now be sent, a force spokesman said.

We know what the police force is riddled with.
