marty78 Posted 20 October 2012 Posted 20 October 2012 Suspended Leicestershire police officer killed by train Gordon Fraser had been suspended from duty since December 2010 Continue reading the main story A senior Leicestershire police officer who had recently been suspended from the force has been struck and killed by a train. Police said Assistant Chief Constable Gordon Fraser died on Friday. His death is not being treated as suspicious. Mr Fraser, 49, and his wife Teresa appeared in court in July charged with perverting the course of justice over a speeding incident in Scotland. Mr Fraser and his wife were due to appear in court on Monday. Leicestershire Police said Mr Fraser was struck on the railway line at Aston Magna, Moreton-in-the-Marsh. It is understood the couple claimed she was the driver of a speeding car in Scotland in September 2011, when it was alleged her husband was actually at the wheel. Speaking after the charges were brought, chief Crown prosecutor for Thames and Chiltern Crown Prosecution Service, Baljit Ubhey, said: "The essence of the charge is that Mr Fraser, having allegedly committed a speeding offence, falsely informed the investigating authorities that Mrs Fraser had been the driver of the vehicle in question, and she falsely accepted responsibility for the speeding offence." Earlier this year a spokesman from West Midlands Police confirmed Mrs Fraser, also a serving police officer, had been suspended from duty pending the outcome of court proceedings. Mr Fraser had been suspended from duty since December 2010, pending a separate investigation being carried out by Merseyside Police. They confirmed earlier this year that they were investigating Mr Fraser in connection with allegations of misconduct and fraud. Leicestershire Police said they were deeply shocked and saddened and their thoughts were with his family and friends. It also said Mr Fraser had been offered welfare support during his suspension. British Transport Police said it was investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident and would be preparing a report for the coroner.
LcFc_Smiv Posted 20 October 2012 Posted 20 October 2012 Looks like he nicked the Tardis too. Sorry but jokes on a matter such as this aren't funny, however I chuckled slightly at this! In all seriousness RIP to the bloke.
Guest Posted 20 October 2012 Posted 20 October 2012 Story sounds like it's the train's fault. Train hits Cop. Will his family be billed for the work on the train and track?
Houdini Logic Posted 20 October 2012 Posted 20 October 2012 Am I the only person who doesn't feel it appropriate to make a joke about this? I'm not exactly a fan of the Police but even still have a bit of respect
Guest Posted 20 October 2012 Posted 20 October 2012 Am I the only person who doesn't feel it appropriate to make a joke about this? I'm not exactly a fan of the Police but even still have a bit of respect You don't have to make a joke about it but surely anyone else who wishes to can. My post wasn't a joke. The guy abused his position and the trust in the entire police force - which is so badlky needed- is hurt by him. He then gets caught and instead of facing the democratic punishment he goes and throws himself in front of a train. This must have a negative effect on the driver, on his family and it costs public money. I don't see where he deserevs any respect but that's up to you. Sounds like a willy puller to me.

I'm not trying to get all high and mighty and I must stress that this is just my personal opinion, but someone who is so down and out they feel the need to end their life is a tragedy to me - even if they'd performed the worst fraud in history, which let's be honest this is nowhere near...

Fair enough. I find him pathetic and selfish. entering the police force and being the arm of the law is a brave and important step for a person to take. Breaking the law that he is being trusted to uphold - and bring others to "justice " for - is reprehensible. Nobody forced him to do that. Then killing himself and bringing more misery on those who loved him as well as some who never even knew him is cowardly. I feel no respect for him, though I respect his initial ideals in trying to serve his community as a police oficer.
Raj Posted 20 October 2012 Posted 20 October 2012 Hope people take the piss out of you lot when you die.
MC Prussian Posted 20 October 2012 Posted 20 October 2012 Bloody trains - always hitting people in the wrong spot. To be fair: Despite his wrongdoings, condolences to the family.
Jon the Hat Posted 20 October 2012 Posted 20 October 2012 Fair enough. I find him pathetic and selfish. I find you ignorant and judgemental.
Alexikokopops Posted 20 October 2012 Posted 20 October 2012 Then killing himself and bringing more misery on those who loved him as well as some who never even knew him is cowardly. I think it's safe to say that someone who is considering ending their own life is not exactly thinking the most rationally about the consequences. They're clearly in a pretty desperate place to consider suicide as the only way out.
Guest Posted 20 October 2012 Posted 20 October 2012 Hope people take the piss out of you lot when you die. I guess it'd show more than nobody saying anything. Still very few of us will have anyone remember anything about us within 100 years of our death and I guess for some a much less time than that. We are but a blip on the sonar of history.
Guest Posted 20 October 2012 Posted 20 October 2012 I find you ignorant and judgemental. Both true. I guess this statement makes you like (as in the same as) me then.
Guest Posted 20 October 2012 Posted 20 October 2012 I think it's safe to say that someone who is considering ending their own life is not exactly thinking the most rationally about the consequences. They're clearly in a pretty desperate place to consider suicide as the only way out. And they put themselves in that position. People do things (and say things ) without thinking through the consequences all the time. That's their (our) choice. Accept the responsibility for your actions and decisions and the consequences that come from them. I've made plenty of bad decisions in my life, I try to learn from them and move on accepting the responsibility of being able to do those actions and make those decisions. It's the price of a relatively "free" life.
Guest Posted 20 October 2012 Posted 20 October 2012 Wow FIF you are a big brave wise man..... No. I'm ignorant and opinionated. Jon the Hat was right there. I know little and talk a lot. I'm not ashamed to have an opinion though, nor to listen to others and change my opinion as I learn more. That's the beauty of a forum board like this. I even learn things from people that I think are misoginistic racists.
