Complaints about the failure of police to investigate allegations of sexual abuse at the Kincora boys’ home in Belfast were “legitimate and justified”, Police Ombudsman Marie Anderson has said.

Mrs Anderson had received seven complaints on behalf of former residents about the failure of police to investigate complaints of sexual abuse that had been made to them.
