Ex-Scots cop vows to bring private prosecution over PC Yvonne Fletcher shooting
17.04.2022 - 07:19 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A Scots former police officer has vowed to bring a private prosecution over the shooting of PC Yvonne Fletcher as colleagues and friends marked 38 years since her death.
The 25-year-old Metropolitan Police officer was shot while policing a demonstration against Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi in London in 1984.
Former Gaddafi aide Saleh Ibrahim Mabrouk was arrested in 2015 in connection with her death but was later released without charge after the Crown Prosecution Service said no prosecution was possible due to evidence being withheld.
In November 2021, retired police officer John Murray, who cradled her as she lay dying, won a civil claim against Mabrouk as part of his decades-long bid for “justice” for her.
A High Court judge found Mabrouk, who denied any wrongdoing, was jointly liable for her shooting.
Speaking ahead of a service at Yvonne’s memorial stone in St James’s Square, Murray vowed that he would not stop until Mabrouk had been convicted.
The 66-year-old is raising funds to seek a private criminal prosecution of Mabrouk, who is no longer living in the UK.
He vowed: “We will carry on for a number of years until Yvonne gets justice, that’s what she deserves and I what everyone deserves.”
The Home Office and CPS have been contacted for comment.
