- Description
- PC Peter Dale pays tribute after the inquest to his colleague PC Philip Olds, who was shot and paralysed attempting an arrest in 1980 and later died from an overdose of medication. Dale says he would have liked to have seen a verdict of accidental death recorded, rather than an open verdict, as he firmly believes that Olds did not commit suicide. Male interviewer not identified.
