The widow of tragic police officer Andrew Harper, who was killed in the line of duty, has said she is ready to “find happiness again” as her campaign for a change in the law reaches its conclusion.
Lissie Harper, 31, said she intends to “move forwards” and effectively retire from public life when Harper’s Law makes it onto the statute books. This comes after the Government backed her calls for mandatory life jail sentences for those who kill an emergency services worker while committing a crime.
Pc Harper, 28, died from his injuries when he was caught in a strap attached to the back of a getaway car and dragged down a winding country road as his teenage killers fled the scene of a quad bike theft in Sulhamstead, Berkshire, in August 2019. It was his last shift before the Harpers were due to go on their honeymoon.
