Retired Officer Initiates Private Prosecution in 1984 Yvonne Fletcher Murder Case

John Murray, a former colleague of PC Yvonne Fletcher, launches a private prosecution against Saleh Ibrahim Mabrouk, seeking justice 40 years after the murder outside the Libyan embassy in London.

• John Murray, who witnessed the murder of PC Yvonne Fletcher in 1984, is pursuing a private prosecution against Saleh Ibrahim Mabrouk, a former Libyan official.
• The High Court previously found Mabrouk 'jointly liable' for Fletcher's murder, though he did not fire the shots.
• Murray is crowdfunding to support the legal costs of the prosecution, with a request for Mabrouk's extradition included.
• The case highlights ongoing challenges in achieving justice, with previous criminal charges dropped due to national security concerns.
• This private legal action comes as official avenues have been exhausted, with no active lines of inquiry remaining.
