On April 17, 1984, Police Constable Yvonne Fletcher was tragically shot dead outside the Libyan Embassy in London. The 25-year-old officer was on duty during a demonstration outside the embassy when shots were fired from within the building, hitting her in the stomach. Despite efforts to save her, Constable Fletcher died from her injuries shortly after the attack.
The murder of Constable Fletcher sparked a diplomatic crisis between the United Kingdom and Libya, leading to the severing of diplomatic ties between the two countries. The incident also raised questions about the safety of police officers on duty and highlighted the risks they face in the line of duty.
The investigation into Constable Fletcher's murder was complex and challenging, with the identity of the shooter remaining a mystery for many years. In 2017, a suspect named Abdulqadir Muhamed al-Baghdadi was named in connection with the shooting, but due to lack of evidence, no charges were brought against him.
Despite the passage of time, the case of Constable Fletcher's murder remains unresolved, leaving her family and colleagues still seeking justice for her senseless death. The memory of this brave officer continues to be honored by the Metropolitan Police and the wider law enforcement community.
