an investigation should be launched

And then they could devote masses of time to covering the investigation... I can't see the point.

.........................

The significant things in common between this case and that of Louise Woodward were that there was a media circus, and this fed into a mob mentality on the part of many people. And nobody knows exactly what happened. In these circumstances the actual facts of the case, insofar as they are known, get buried in the mass of comment, prejudice and speculation.

They are planning to allow TV cameras into trials in England. I dread the day.
