    Police have admitted they missed some steps in investigating the death of a toddler found floating face up in an oxidation pond in Gore

    Police have admitted they missed some steps in investigating the death of a toddler found floating face up in an oxidation pond in Gore


    3-year-old Lachlan Jones drown in the ponds in January 2019.

    His father has been publicly critical of police.

    Southern Police District Commander Paul Basham has now requested a national investigations overview of the case.

    That will include reviewing the police file, decisions and actions in the original investigation, and the subsequent re-investigation by a Detective Inspector.

    Police have also self-referred the matter to the IPCA.
