- Summary
- Three men in the prime of life, men with everything to live for - dead. What began as a routine day for three "Q" Car policemen a few short weeks ago brought them violent deaths at the hands of ruthless murderers. The nation mourns as three heroes of Britain’s fight against crime so to their last resting place. A special service at Scotland Yard, countless floral tributes including one from Mrs Harry Roberts, convey the deep sympathy of everyone for this tragic chapter in police history. Pathe News issues an appeal from the wanted man’s Mother to come forward and save any further bloodshed.
