www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-60145148A very unusual and tragic incident and RIP to the young lady that was stabbed to death. I think a lot of people in the same situation would do what the driver did. There’s no way he should go to prison for trying to save someone’s life.

He will be fine and has defences in law to the use of force he employed. These use of force laws are as applicable to him as they are a police firearms officer who shoots dead a terrorist. However, you would expect that a thorough investigation does take place and all the evidence gathered as the police can’t just have a chat with him at the side of the road and say “fair enough mate, job’s a good ‘un” and let him walk off. What if it came out that he in someway knew the victim or the man he run over, or there was some indication he had planned this, it changes what his mindset was and consequently could point to a criminal intent.
If the facts are reported as they are and witness evidence is gathered I’d be pretty confident he will be ok and an early decision made by the CPS not to charge. The main clue is that he was released on bail…..not many murderers are released on bail.

Am I right in saying that the police will treat any suspicious or unexplained death as a murder initially then de-escalate as necessary when investigations progress. |

Am I right in saying that the police will treat any suspicious or unexplained death as a murder initially then de-escalate as necessary when investigations progress. In those circumstances definitely but anything "suspicious" will be treated as a crime until proved otherwise. You have too because once a scene/body is "released" evidence will be contaminated and potentially lost forever. |

I cannot get over how utterly fucking shit our police force is right now. Particularly the met.
Cobham, they need you back mate, you must despair at the state of the nation's policing right now... Summed up perfectly by Cressida Cunt.
Law and order in this country is non existent and in desperate need of reform.

A process had to be followed to maintain integrity and transparency in the investigation. In the end the truth came out and the right decision reached; it just could not be rushed or given a cursory look as that’s how corruption potentially starts. Well done to the officers investigating who obviously presented a thorough and balanced investigation and the CPS making the call. These sorts of outcomes are rarely shouted about, but it is the criminal justice system working properly for a change.
