Mrs Harper said: “In all honesty I am for the second time in the space of one year utterly shocked and appalled. She continued: "Andrew was taken from us on that horrendous night last year and his life was stolen and the lives of his family and friends altered forever. This crime, whatever the outcome deliberated over in court, was brutal and senseless.
"Myself and Andrew's family will never come to terms with our new lives, we will never understand how such a beautiful, loving, decent human being could be dealt this fate. Long, Bowers and Cole had watched the verdict via videolink after the jury had deliberated for almost two days.The trio are now facing substantially shorter jail sentences after being convicted of the lesser charge.
The jury was provided with a private room, and anyone entering the public gallery was asked to provide proof of their identity. A third measure was kept secret.Jurors were referred to by number rather than their name to be sworn in and uniformed police were out in force during a jury visit to rural Berkshire with a drone keeeping an eye overhead.An overly friendly juror was seen by a prison officer to mouth "Bye boys" to the defendants in the dock.
PC Harper’s body was completely naked apart from his socks when discovered by the officer’s horrified colleagues.His tragic and agonising death was just four weeks after marrying sweetheart Lissie Beckett.
