BBC breached accuracy rules by not disclosing convicted murderer Scarlet Blake's transgender identity in initial reporting.
The BBC's Executive Complaints Unit found that the public broadcaster breached accuracy rules by not mentioning convicted murderer Scarlet Blake's transgender identity in initial reporting.

The broadcaster has since corrected this oversight and updated its reporting to include the relevant information.
