The case against Inspector Mark Hernandez, former head of the Special Operations Response Team (SORT), has been dismissed by the High Court.
Inspector Hernandez was charged with misbehaviour in public office in connection with the alleged treatment of Andrew Morris and Joel Balcon, two suspects held during investigations into the kidnapping and subsequent murder of Andrea Bharatt in 2021. Both men later died while in police custody.
The charges arose amid public outcry and calls for accountability following the deaths of Morris and Balcon.
