PC Andrew Harper’s ‘ribs exposed and half his face ripped off after burglars dragged him behind car’
A TEEN accused of murdering a police officer by dragging him behind a speeding car claimed he had been watching movies including Fast and Furious at the time of the killing.
Jurors at the Old Bailey heard that when Long was arrested in the early hours of August 16, he told police: "Look at me. Do I look like a murderer?" Long and two 17-year-olds, who cannot be named for legal reasons, all deny murdering the Thames Valley Police officer in August last year.They all admit conspiring to steal a quad bike, and Long has admitted the manslaughter of Pc Harper, which the younger boys deny.
Prosecutor Brian Altman QC told the court: "In his opinion, Pc Harper's lower legs became entangled in a rope attached to the Seat car, causing him to fall violently to the ground in an unprotected manner, sustaining a head injury which would likely have resulted in deep unconsciousness."
