This was the Officer Andrew Harper, a month ago
getting married.

He Was in his Police Car with another officer
but at the time of his death was on his own.



I feel so sorry to his Wife.

PC Andrew Harper's widow has written to the prime minister to ask for a retrial after his killers were cleared of murder.

Lissie Harper had been married to PC Harper for just a month when he was killed trying to prevent the theft of a quad bike in Berkshire last August.

Henry Long, 19, Jessie Cole and Albert Bowers, both 18, were acquitted of murder by an Old Bailey jury on Friday.

Cole and Bowers were found guilty of manslaughter, while Long had previously admitted the same charge.

In an open letter posted to Facebook, Lissie Harper urged Boris Johnson to "have this miscarriage of justice overturned".

Those uneducated teenagers set out to steal a qaud bike not murder a policeman.

So from the off it can’t be murder.

Take away the background of those involved and the fact it was a police officer and the need for a murder charge would not be so high.

The jury heard all the evidence and came to their decision.

If this trial gets rerun do to public opinion or pressure that means all the other trials should get reheard.

The police are terrified of the travelling community. That's the truth of it.

UserSince2005 31-07-2020 01:16 PM

16 years for 1
13 years for the other two.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-46544144

I would prefer all three were just hung, but I guess this is a decent bit of justice.

thesheriff443 31-07-2020 01:21 PM

So 8 years for one and 6 and a half for a he other two.

That's certainly a point of view, alright.

They have to serve two thirds.....still a joke but better than half

UserSince2005 31-07-2020 01:49 PM

I was expecting them to serve a lot less given the manslaughter verdict

They didnt set out to murder him....but it came down to whether they were aware he was being dragged along. They kept swerving from side to side knowing (I believe) that he was being dragged and tried to dislodge him. That makes it murder....but they obviously convinced the jury that they didnt realise it was the officer...hence Manslaughter..


This is such a tragedy...such a lovely looking young man...and his poor wife.

I haven't read all the details but if they were trying to dislodge him, wouldn't that prove that it wasn't murder?

Gross, no. They wanted to dislodge him, drive off and leave him for dead.
