Met Police officers photographed the bodies of two sisters who were killed and then took photographs of their mothers. The mother has stated that she is interested in meeting one of these women.
Mina Smallman (65) said she hoped to see Deniz Jaffer again and that they shared their grief at the deaths of her two daughters, Nicole Smallman (77) and Bibaa (46) respectively.
The siblings had celebrated a birthday party in Fryent Country Park in Wembley, north-west London, when they were set upon by 19-year-old Danyal Hussein.
Jamie Lewis (33) and Deniz Jaffer (47), serving Met Police officers, stood at the crime scene when they discovered that Jamie Lewis had shared photos of the bodies with WhatsApp groups.
Smallman, who was guest editor on BBC R4’s Today program today, admitted that she felt repelled by the two but said that she would meet up with them.
She said: ‘I’m repulsed by them, if I’m honest, and I can’t wait to meet Jaffa.
‘He said he’d like to meet with the family and I don’t believe he thought that that could happen, but it will because he said he wants it to happen. I’m going to give him that invitation.’
Jaffer left the force five-months ago. Lewis was dismissed following a hearing at the Independent Office for Police Complaints.
Last month, Jaffer and Lewis were each jailed for two years and nine months for misconduct in public office after they were found guilty of sharing ‘dehumanising’ pictures of the two girls at the murder scene.
Mina Smallman (65), said that she ‘cannot wait’ to meet Deniz Jaffer, an ex-police officer, and also shared the pain of losing Nicole Smallman (27) and Bibaa Heinrich (46) after they were stabbed and killed.
They were celebrating the birthday of Ms Henry in Fryent Country Park, Wembley (north-west London) when they were attacked in the wee hours of June 6, 2020.

Smallman shared his frustrations with ‘having too fight to find’. [her]eigene children, she said she wasn’t in the right place to mourn 18 months after her sister’s murder.
She said: ‘I’ve said once before, it’d be great to have no news, good or bad. It would help to have a straight line so that we can gather speed and get through the grief process.
The Met issued an apology to the Smallman families for failing to address reports about Nicole and Bibaa being missing after conducting its own investigation.
The missing persons log had been closed incorrectly and no further inquiries were made. Cressida, Met commissioner Cressida Dick admitted that more detailed responses would have avoided ‘immeasurable pain’ and prevented the loss of loved ones.
Smallman also criticised the ‘clearly flawed’ system for policing during her appearance as a guest editor.
“The system is clearly broken. The police force allows certain situations to occur.
“There is clearly a core who are abusing their power and an unhealthy culture. We need to do something about it because those who perpetrate this are the ones that will benefit.
