Cop 'tortured' over M9 crash call failure apologises to victim's families
10.10.2023 - 14:47 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A retired police officer has apologised to the families of two people who lay undiscovered for days in a crashed car after he failed to log a call reporting the incident, saying he is "tortured" by what happened.
Retired police sergeant Brian Henry, 61, said he feels "dreadful" for the families of Lamara Bell and John Yuill and that the incident "lives with me every day and will always do so".
Ms Bell, 25, and Mr Yuill, 28, died after the car they were in left the M9 near Stirling on July 5, 2015 as they drove back from a camping trip. They lay in their Renault Clio for three days before being discovered on July 8, despite police previously being alerted to the incident.
Mr Henry said he cannot explain why he failed to log the call about the crashed car and that he goes over what happened again and again in his mind. A fatal accident inquiry (FAI) at Falkirk Sheriff Court previously heard Mr Henry took a call from a member of the public on July 5 reporting a car off the road and recorded it in his police notebook, but he failed to log it into the Storm case management system and no action was taken.
On Tuesday, the inquiry heard a statement prepared by Mr Henry which was read by senior counsel Gavin Anderson KC.
In the statement, Mr Henry said: "I want to say at the outset how dreadful I feel for the families and their loss. This incident lives with me every day and will always do so. I know the grief and loss that the families feel is not something that will ever leave them.
"I want them to know that having given my whole life to serving Police Scotland, it's devastating to me that I have been involved in the events of that day."
In a message directed at the families, he added: "I want them to know I am sorry for their
