A thread. Two years ago my good friend was involved in a minor road rage incident where his wing mirror was ripped off by a cyclist. He got out of the car to ask the cyclist what he was doing. Big mistake. The cyclist punched him unconscious. Broke his jaw. Put him in hospital.
His wife,my friend, a nurse was also attacked. Police were called but the cyclist disappeared. 4 weeks later my friend thought he saw the cyclist again and had a massive catastrophic heart attack. He was very much loved and missed so much.
After his death questions arose as to whether the attack had caused his death in some way. The police took interest. There was dash cam footage but we couldn’t it get to work. The police took it to their labs and viewed it.
Shockingly, they identified the attacker immediately. He was a serving police officer. After years of seeking justice for this random attack, which we are convinced hastened our friends death, the police officer was sacked from his post but never prosecuted.
The #SarahEverad murder has shocked us to the core. It’s raked up memories of those terrible words... “he was a serving police officer”. Don’t get me wrong. I work next to a police station. Those officers are great. But I feel very sad this weekend. RIP Sarah and lovely Pete x
