Who knows? It's made it into Collins Dictionary.

How do you reach that conclusion? It says “sources” told a newspaper. Was that actually the police? At best that’s an assumption but it could easily be someone else.

Mainly this
Serena Kennedy, the chief constable of Merseyside Police, expressed her frustration at not being able to release more details in the wake of the killings.

As a new word suggestion!
In fact I find it’s actually in the OED already. Something I suspect you discovered to but decided not to highlight, because none of the definitions match the way the right intend. Here they are:-
“adjective
INFORMAL
adjective: stabby; comparative adjective: stabbier; superlative adjective: stabbiest
- 1.
(of a pain) sudden and sharp.
"when I got out of bed I felt a stabby pain in my left foot"- (of popular music) characterized by staccato interjected phrases.
"a stabby guitar riff"
- (of popular music) characterized by staccato interjected phrases.
- 2.
(of a person) very angry; furious.
"It's not even 8 a.m. and I'm feeling stabby"

Never mind. At least it's removed your doubt about it's inclusion.

I bet she was but it doesn’t mean that the CPS stopped it.
The force were much more likely restrained by self imposed, long standing disciplines.

Keep going. This denial is more entertaining than extreme right wing guitar riffs.

The right wing slang interpretation which you've invented? Yes, that does seem unlikely.
Attacker described as black male in black balaclava with rambo style knife by victim

I think we must respect people are different all over the world. Some countries have been ‘successful’ and thrived economically, producing great inventors, architecture, wealth and general harmony. World wars and damage to the environment excluded. The key to success however is a real non selfish community spirit, respecting order and being kind and honest. The irony is that many of the bad eggs in our country champion these virtues but don’t actually practice them. My biggest bug bear is hearing people demanding ‘respect’ when they show you and the wider community none. Most people however from all countries are lovely.
The culture of gang violence and lone wolf knife carrying has to be tackled with proactive stop and search and mandatory sentencing for possession. The Left have to respect this and not belly ache the whole time about ‘rights’ and victimisation. They don’t seem to have solutions… just finger-pointing and so the problem gets worse. I hate to think how many black and white kids end up on mortuary slabs in the UK and the US thanks to Left wing dithering and preoccupation with race issues and paralysis on gang violence.
Old England is but a dream particularly in our major cities which feel more dangerous than ever. Shall we all run away from the problem and move to Dorset, Devon or Cornwall, drink cider, paint our a*ses blue and dance around a merry maypole? What is it like Wisbech Eagle?

Sorry.
Our chief censor has dribbled again. We need a bib for baby.
The free speech absolutists really don’t want him exercising his right to free speech on this site, do they?
I think with over 19000 posts, your point is a little mute

What “denial”?
When there is no evidence to back up an assertion other than a spun newspaper story it is for whoever is making the assertion to produce the evidence.
The assertion being that the CPS stopped the police releasing information.
That the police were frustrated at not being able to release details that might have poured cold water on the internet rumour mill doesn’t mean the CPS had any involvement, nor does it mean the police wanted to release anything. It merely means they were frustrated at the outcome. When two desired outcomes conflict that’s what happens.
Newspapers then spinning a story to suit their agenda is also very usual.
There is nothing to see here other than a tabloid doing what tabloids do.
