Petition to stop the early release from jail of PC Andrew Harper's killers

Aileen O'Connor, chair of Thames Valley Police Federation, launched the petition after the Ministry of Justice confirmed Jessie Cole and Albert Bowers are eligible for early release this October.

PC Harper's widow, Lissie Harper, has added her voice, saying she felt "punched in the gut" by the decision.
She added: "Hopefully we can make the current government come to their senses and realise we cannot put people like this back on our streets. Justice should mean justice and serving the sentence given."
