Post Office: I was only doing my job, says investigator
A Post Office investigator has rejected any personal responsibility in the case of a wrongly-convicted manager, telling an inquiry: "I was only doing my job." Robert Daily investigated Peter Holmes, who managed a post office in Jesmond, Newcastle, when an audit said there was a £46,000 shortfall in his account. The inquiry heard how Mr Daily, who has been employed by the Post Office since 1979 and became a investigation manager in 2005, began investigating Mr Holmes in 2008 over the shortfalls in his accounts. "We should have not been doing any investigations whatsoever," Mr Daily said. Mr Daily confirmed that there was no material related to checks on the Horizon software in the Post Office's case.
