The husband of a policewoman who took her own life has spoken out about the way his wife was treated by the New South Wales police service."There are so many casualties in this story. It goes beyond [her] death."
An inquest has heard the sergeant, known as "Officer A", had an affair with a senior ranking officer the year before she died.
New South Wales Deputy Coroner Hugh Dillon has criticised the police service over its handling of her case but has suppressed the names of all those involved, including a senior ranking officer who had a brief affair with the woman in 2012.
Her husband, who can only be known as "F", said the police service mismanaged her depression and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which were diagnosed as work-related injuries.
"There are so many casualties in this story. It goes beyond [her] death," he told the ABC.
