I would like to extend my sympathies again to Jamie's family and friends. I have met his family and it is clear he was a well loved and popular young man. He had been enjoying a night out with friends and was walking hand in hand with them on his way back to his friend's student residence. It is a tragic example of the fragility of human life that one second he was enjoying life to the full and laughing with friends and the next he was dead. Pc Mills will have to live with what happened for the rest of his life. Jamie's family will have to live without a much loved young man.
