Arrest of Brown shattered PC partner

CHURCH-going policewoman Lois Murray felt her “whole world had collapsed” when her PC fiance was arrested for corruption.

At one point the 34-year-old was found by a friend making arrangements for her own funeral, Newcastle Crown Court heard during the case which ended with disgraced former constable Graham Brown being jailed for seven years.

The couple had recently become engaged and had set a wedding date for December 2002 and she was planning to spend the rest of her life with Brown.
