As I said some time ago in one of the other threads: If a number of dead and seriously injured people turn up on their patch, the Police are under a duty to investigate the circumstances and provide evidence to the CPS, who then decide if a prosecution is in order.
The Police don't have any choice about whether to carry out this investigation. In fact if you were to talk to any of the officers involved you would probably find that that they would rather *not* be doing it.
