Ex-Met Police inspector lied about wife's death in Barbados hotel room, BBC learns
A BBC Panorama investigation finds that Warren Arter, an ex-Metropolitan Police detective inspector investigated for sexually exploiting vulnerable victims, lied about how his wife Rebekah died in a Barbados hotel room in 2024, giving conflicting accounts to staff and family. Barbados authorities failed to preserve evidence or interview hotel staff, a UK coroner recorded an open verdict, the Met declined to send detectives despite the family's request, and Arter took his own life in Wandsworth prison days after his arrest.
