18-year-old Jessie Cole, convicted of manslaughter following the death of PC Andrew Harper in Berkshire, worked as a tree surgeon on the Isle of Wight just weeks before the tragic incident last August, it has been revealed.
Henry Long, Albert Bowers and Jessie Cole – all travellers – had been accused of murdering 28-year-old PC Harper in August 2019, but were this week convicted of the lesser charge of manslaughter.
PC Harper was trying to stop the trio from stealing a quad bike when his ankles accidentally became caught up in a tow rope. He was dragged for a mile behind the killer’s car and died at the side of the road shortly after being found by colleagues from Thames Valley Police.
According to the MailOnline, Cole worked with his father on the Isle of Wight as a tree surgeon in the weeks leading up to the killing of PC Harper.
Cole, who has been widely photographed laughing whilst being led into court, left school at the age of 14 and cannot read or write. He lived with his mum in Hampshire but occasionally stayed with his father and carried out work as a tree surgeon in Reading, Basingstoke and here on the Isle of Wight.
The thieving trio will be sentenced next week.
Hope he gets the shit kicked out of him in prison
Laughing???? The ugly little disrespectful idiot should be put up a huge tree and left there
Respects go to the officers family and friends
Bet he fitted in great on the island
Can’t read or write? Sounds about right for a lot of the islanders I know. Of all ages too. Sad, but true.
Hes gone! Shame the likes of yourself are still here.
How can you relate him to us islanders? Do you know us islanders then? So all of us are police killers? I suppose u think this because of someone YOU know who maybe lives/lived here and there actions? If you know everthing about us, to compare us, whatever it is you are insinuating? then you know many of us go by the saying it takes 1 to know 1.
Perhaps grow a backbone and name yourself, besides hiding being “sad”. At least us islanders can then give you the respect, you do us. Its only fair, i certainly wouldnt disrespect you or your fellow neighbours by the selfish actions of a few people. Theres definetly more than 1 word, that other people might like to mention for someone like you. I choose, A55h0l3.
Sad by name , you are sad
Let’s hope he gets slapped up in prison
I suspect just the opposite…. he’ll no doubt be boasting about it and getting street cred for ‘doing’ a cop.Let’s hope that backfires, big time!
I’d question the title of” Tree Surgeon”,
I watched and videoed some cowboys doing ‘tree surgery’ opposite my house last year. I say surgery, more like cowboy butchery. No protective gear, no ropes and no safety precautions. Lopping off branches with the chain saw in one hand, holding onto a branch in the other hand, one foot on the ladder that was propped up against a branch…. no one at the bottom securing the ladder. Could it be one and the same ?
Yes it could. What a strange question…
Nice looking young lad. He’ll soon find he has a ‘protector’, at a price of course.
The law in this country needs a complete overhaul. Personally I would have hung him. These people contribute zero to society. pay no taxes, steel anything they want, build houses without planning permission. and dump their waste anywhere for the council to clean up. Thats just a few things. Do we really need these kind of people ?
No, send them back to Ireland. Why should we suffer these EU rejects.
Bloody Great News! Cop Killer climbed a tree once on the Isle of Wight!
Had the victim been part of his community, they would now burn down his mothers home with her in it.
Used to hang cop killers, too good for these scum. Perhaps put them in a sack & drown ’em.
What a moron you are
