The Independent Police Conduct Authority has found that the system police use for stalking allegations isn't up to standard. 

This is after the murder of a 21-year-old in Auckland who had reported to police eight weeks before her death that her killer was harassing her.

The woman's file was inactive for six weeks after she made the report, then it was forwarded to another police station. It was not progressed further before she died.

Ruth Money is a Victims Advocate and told Heather du Plessis-Allan she is 'horrified' by the outcome.
