But only two of the murderers have ever been convicted. Gary Dobson and David Norris were jailed for life in 2012 after a trial that relied on tiny traces of forensic evidence. The CPS had been considering whether or not to charge three former Met superintendents and a former detective inspector with misconduct in public office offences over the failings of the investigation.
