Yvonne Fletcher murder: Pursuing justice 40 years on

A police officer who held the hand of his dying colleague after she was shot 40 years ago is launching a private prosecution of one of the suspects.

PC Yvonne Fletcher was killed when gunmen in London's then Libyan embassy fired into a demonstration outside.

Her colleague, John Murray, is going to court to demand the remaining key suspect is tried for murder. He said he promised her he would "get justice". The case is being launched on the 40th anniversary of PC Fletcher's death.

The 大象传媒's Home and legal correspondent Dominic Casciani has been speaking to him.
