Face of Nation : The police officer who died after being dragged along by a car while investigating a burglary in Berkshire had only got married four weeks earlier, his force has revealed.
Thames Valley Police said it had launched a murder investigation after PC Andrew Harper, a roads policing officer, was “killed while performing his duties”. The 28-year-old was with a fellow officer when he responded to an incident near the A4 between Reading and Newbury at around 11.30pm on Thursday.
Detectives have arrested 10 people, including a 13-year-old boy, on suspicion of murder and taken them into police custody. “We are all shocked and saddened by the death of our colleague,” said Thames Valley chief constable John Campbell. “The officer was well-known across the force so it is felt very personally and it is felt very personally by the whole police family across the UK.”
