Margaret McCarron's devastated family have welcomed the recent admission from PC Jamie Hamill over the 58-year-old's death in September 2021 but are 'frustrated it has taken this long to secure'.
The heartbroken family of a Motherwell woman killed by a speeding police officer have slammed "unjust delays" after he admitted to killing the 58-year-old.
The victim's family say Hamill could have "admitted his guilt far earlier" as they blast the length of time it took for him to own up to his actions. "We therefore hope the pending sentence will reflect the seriousness of his failures, the significance of our loss and the importance of police officers following the laws they are meant to enforce."
The patrol hits speeds of 52mph but lost sight of the car but after checking the registration decided to visit an address in Bellshill to question the owner. But as they made their way through Motherwell having switched off their emergency lights they collided with McCarron around 8.15pm.
