How online misinformation forced a woman into hiding


Former police officer Christi Hill has told BBC Verify she has been forced into hiding and is fearful for her safety after her and PC Tristan Parsons were misidentified on social media as being the officers involved in the arrest of Henry Nowak.

Bodycam footage released this week shows 18-year-old Henry being handcuffed by officers as he repeatedly said he couldn’t breathe. PC Tristan Parsons was out of the country and Christi Hill had left the force more than a year before the incident as Kayleen Devlin reports.
