Garfield Nandram

FOI request made 16 July 2025, however, I sent it to Thames Value Police so did it again to Metropilitan Police, so obviously thats not ideal. Refused 22 August 2025, [C&E have advised that they have nothing on their logs re Garfield Nandram – They would have done at the time but moved to a new logging system in 2021 and a lot of the logs on older murders that hadn’t progressed were deleted. However, RMB have located files in relation to Garfield Nandram. These consists of 1 Part and 6 Boxes. The information given out to the public at the time of the crime could possibly be inside one of the boxes. The information requested is not held locally or centrally in an easy electronic searchable format to allow the MPS to locate, identify and retrieve information sought. As there is no easy way for us to determine which of these files may contain the information from their title names nor the descriptions, we would have to recall and review each file to determine whether they are indexed, and if not, review every document/page within to see if there were any information given out to the public at the time of the crime. We therefore estimate that the cost of complying with this request would exceed the appropriate limit. The appropriate limit has been specified in regulations and for agencies outside central Government; this is set at £450.00. This represents the estimated cost of one person spending 18 hours [at a rate of £25 per hour] in determining whether the MPS holds the information, and locating, retrieving and extracting the information.] which sounds like bullshit to me. They have twisted my request to imply that it must be the the information given out at the time. I only asked for that as they are like slithery ells that try to escape from providing basic information whatever, such as it will affect the investigation or upset someone. Clearly some more bacic information should be in the public domain about this case, but the MET clearly don't want to be the ones to give it. Clearly solving this case is not something they want to leverage the opportunity that this site offers to achieve, inqted relying on no one at all knowing anything about it in the hope that people provide that one bit of information that crasks the case as no case is ever fogotten unless they cant be assed to deal with it. Complained 22 August 2025.
