Exceptional reporting of a tragic story. At the centre of it is violent institutional failures despite persistence from a small number of individuals who noticed major safeguarding risks.
Staggering that no one has lost their job or even been disciplined for these multiple and abject failures.

In November 2023, police found the decayed corpse of Tracey Turnell in Walthamstow Market.
She had no phone, job, passport, friends or lovers. There wasn’t a single photo of her.
In the hardest piece I've worked on for @londonermag.bsky.social, I worked out who she was and who was responsible.
A decayed corpse was found being wheeled through the centre of Walthamstow. Who was she? And who is to blame for her death?
