A police inspector who posted abusive messages concerning a woman involved in a vigil for murder victim Sarah Everard has been sacked.

Two women complained to Nottinghamshire Police about Insp Philip Grimwade’s behaviour in January and April.

They said some of his posts on X, previously known as Twitter, were “misogynistic” and “unprofessional.”

He admitted to gross misconduct at a police standards hearing and was dismissed.
