Employment Judge Jane Aspinall said: '[Miss Davies] reasonably believed that the information she disclosed as tending to show a criminal offence or miscarriage of justice was true.
'She acted and has continued to act, with utter conviction that she has detected double murders.
'The failure was continuing in that the cases continued, and had continued since their verdicts in the late 1990s, to be classified as murder-suicides, not as [she] supposed, double murders.
'This was likely to continue, on [her] thinking, until the matters were reinvestigated and possibly had their verdicts overturned. They were, as she saw it, long-standing wrongs that had not been put right.
'[Miss Davies] shared information in breach of obligations of confidentiality. She accepted in evidence that she could have anonymised the photographs and not shared the identity of the victims but did not do so.
'The Tribunal finds that this was irresponsible and unreasonable of her.
'The Tribunal finds it was wholly irresponsible of her if she thought she could identify a suspect, to disclose that to anyone other than the police.'
On hearing the verdict, Miss Davies said: 'All I ever wanted was for these cases to be re-investigated.
