Family Lead Tributes To Fallen Traffic Officer

The family of a traffic officer killed in an apparent hit-and-run say they have been left with "a huge void" in their lives.

Father-of-two PC Andrew Duncan, 47, who joined the Met Police in 1990 and became a traffic officer in May 2004, died on Sunday after trying to stop a car in Sutton, south London, on Friday.

His wife Claire said in a statement: "We would like to thank all the medical staff at St George's Hospital, Tooting, for their enormous efforts in attempting to save Andrew's life.

"We have had, and still are having, tremendous support from all Andrew's colleagues, family and friends. Our children, Adam, Emma, and myself are truly grateful.

"Andrew was a fantastic husband, father, son and brother. This is supported by the many tributes which we are still receiving from his family and friends.

"We are left with a huge void in our lives, but we have some fantastic memories that we will always treasure."

Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe and Home Secretary Theresa May both paid tribute to him.

Sir Bernard said: "Andy was a hard-working and courageous policeman. He served the community as both a police officer and as a scouting volunteer.

"The night he was injured, he was doing a job that he loved and we all had every right to expect he would return safely to his home and family - tragically that was not the case."

Mrs May, who will attend a service to mark the 10th National Police Memorial Day on Sunday where officers who die on duty are remembered, said his death highlighted the importance of the day.

"The tragic death of PC Andrew Duncan brings home the importance of National Police Memorial Day, when we come together to remember the debt of gratitude we owe to policemen and women across the country who put themselves in harm's way to protect us.

One man - who was charged under the name Gary Bromige, but appeared in court under the name Gary Cody - is accused of causing death by dangerous driving, failing to stop at the scene of an accident, failing to report an accident and driving without insurance.

Police on Monday night arrested two other men, aged 19 and 23, on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and failing to stop at the scene of an accident, and they remain in custody.
