The Killing of PC Harper: A Widow’s Fight for Justice

Tuesday, ITV HD, 9pm

On 15 August 2019, PC Andrew Harper went to work as usual. But the 28-year-old, who had married his childhood sweetheart four weeks earlier, never made it home.

He’d been called out to a burglary in Sulhamstead in Berkshire. But as he tried to stop the young robbers, his feet became entangled in a tow rope attached to their getaway car, and he was dragged at speed along country lanes for more than a mile.
