Never Forgotten Police Officers
Constable Lynette Taylor Senior constable Kevin King Constable Glen Humphris Constable Josh PrestneyThe four police officers who were on routine highway patrol had pulled over the Porsche driver, Richard Pusey, for speeding. After the truck ploughed into the officers, Pusey filmed them for several minutes with vulgar commentary as they lay dying, before fleeing.
The drugged truck driver was Mohinder Singh.
Tributes
Let's never forget.. if it had not been for the unlawful actions by Richard Pusey prior to the accident, the police officers would still be with us today!
On the day after the crash, Victoria police, including the staff department, gathered at the Victoria Police Academy on the site's parade ground to pay tribute to the deceased officers, with a minute's silence. Flowers were also placed at the Boroondara police station. Police forces around the world paid tribute to the victims.
Richard Pusey (regarded as the most reviled hated human in Australia) was jailed for 10 months.
Mohinder Singh was sentenced to 22 years in prison with a non-parole period of 18 years and six months.
