AI Summary
The senior investigating officer in PC Andrew Harper’s case says he is “appalled” that two of the killers, Jessie Cole and Albert Bowers, could become eligible for early release next year under revised government plans. Former Det Supt Stuart Blaik, who led the investigation, stated that due to the seriousness of the case and the killers’ lack of remorse, they should not be granted early release. PC Harper died in 2019 after being dragged behind a getaway car, and his widow has joined calls for the killers to remain in prison.
