A FORMER officer at Cheshire Constabulary has been banned from the profession after he was caught sending “derogatory, offensive and racist” WhatsApp messages.

- BY GARY PORTER

Police Constable Anthony Murphy sent the “totally unacceptable” messages to an ex-partner and friend over a period of more than two years between May 2021 and August 2023.

The force has confirmed Murphy would have been dismissed had he not already resigned in March.

A recent Accelerated Misconduct Hearing ruled the officer's actions amounted to gross misconduct - a finding he accepts.
