Mum of tragic airman Corrie McKeague campaigning for locks on industrial bins
25.09.2022 - 07:13 / dailyrecord.co.uk
The mum of tragic airman Corrie McKeague is fighting for locks to be put on industrial bins – so no other mother suffers the anguish she endured.
Corrie, 23, vanished in the early hours of September 24, 2016, after a night out with friends in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.
Despite extensive searches, his body has never been found.

“That is absolutely something I will pursue. I’ve got the rest of my life to do it.
“I’ll shout as loud as I can to try to prevent this ever happening again. It won’t bring Corrie back but, if it stops one other mother or family having to go through what we have gone through, then it will be worth it.”
Nicola believes cost is preventing change from taking place and described the lack of action as “an utter disregard for human life”.
She added: “What they are looking at is the bottom line – how much it would cost to have to do it. I’m quite sure if it was
