    The Murder of WPC Yvonne Fletcher: A Pre- Episode

    The Murder of WPC Yvonne Fletcher: A Pre- Episode

    On 17th April 1984, a number of the Metropolitan Police officers were on duty in St James Square, London. At that time the Libyan Embassy occupied No 5. The officers were to police a demonstration which consisted of supporters and dissenters of Colonel Gaddafi, the Libyan leader.
    It was at 10.18 that gunfire was discharged from the first floor windows of No 5 St James Square. Many anti Gaddafi demonstrators were hit and injured. One of the officers, Yvonne Fletcher,  was also shot and fell to the ground. She was immediately tended to by the officers around her and then removed from the danger. Standing next to Yvonne that day was her friend and colleague, PC John Murray. John accompanied Yvonne to hospital, he made a promise that he would bring those responsible to justice. Yvonne died shortly afterwards.
     
    John Murray has worked and campaigned tirelessly since that fateful day to keep the promise he made to his fallen friend. We intend to release a series later this year telling the story of what led to Yvonne’s death and what has happened in the years since. It has been described as a story of ‘espionage, betrayal, terrorism and corruption’.
     
    However, John invited us to attend the 40th Anniversary Memorial for Yvonne. It was a well attended event on a sunny spring morning on the street where Yvonne fell 40 years earlier. This short  ‘pre episode’ was recorded minutes before and after that memorial service with some of her colleagues.

Fascinating!

Love the format of your investigations, always informative and full of interesting details.
I find it fascinating listening to you both as well as the interviewee’s. You really recreate the scenes so well for us to imagine without even looking at the website (which is also full of details!).
Looking forward to hearing more episodes as I personally rate you one of my favourites!
Please keep bringing these stories to our attention!
Thanks!

Language?

Please could you avoid antiquated language. The repeated use of the phase “young lady” to describe a 20-year-old woman is distracting me from the substance of the case. Thank you.
