Woman Killed Herself After Wrongful Arrest Of Fiancé

Cherry Turner (pictured left) took her own life after armed police raided her house and arrested her partner in a case of mistaken identity.  On December 12th, 2021, armed Northumbria Police burst into her home in Denton, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and arrested her partner, Craig Jackson, mistakenly believing him to be another man of the same name who was thought to have been involved in a gun offence on Tyneside.  The following day, police realised that they had got the wrong man, but it took them two months to notify the couple that Mr. Jackson was no longer under investigation.  After experiencing the trauma of the police raid - with sirens blaring, dogs barking, and armed police pinning her fiancé to the ground - 31-year-old Miss Turner's mental health began to decline alarmingly.  She became distressed and anxious, struggled to sleep, and started to believe the police were bugging her home.  On July 1st, 2022, police were called to the Redheugh Bridge in Gateshead, where Miss Turner's lifeless body was found, presumably meaning she committed suicide by jumping from the bridge.  Craig Jackson, heartbroken by the loss of the "love of his life", and losing the will to live, stopped taking the anti-rejection medication he was prescribed after a kidney transplant in 2017, and died in January of 2025.  Two deaths, both essentially suicides, caused by unthinking thuggery on the part of the police: this sort of thing is far too common.  More on this tragic case HERE and HERE.

Having had my own property raided and ransacked by the rozzers, and had specific items stolen by these thieves, I know just how much trauma police brutality can cause.  And I haven't even committed any crimes!
