Overview
- Armed officers raided the couple’s Denton, Newcastle home on December 12, 2021 and wrongfully arrested fiancé Craig Jackson in a case of mistaken identity.
- Evidence presented to South Tyneside Coroner’s Court included officer messages indicating they suspected they had detained the wrong man.
- The couple were not told for about two months that Jackson was no longer under investigation, a delay the inquest heard intensified Turner’s anxiety.
- Jurors returned a narrative conclusion that the raid caused an anxiety disorder that contributed to Turner’s suicide and said opportunities to end the ordeal were missed, highlighting a lack of support for wrongful-arrest victims.
- Jackson later stopped his post-transplant medication and died in January 2025, according to his family, who linked his decision to bereavement.
