The Police Pressure That Killed Nick Brandram The Metropolitan Police's handling of the Putney pusher case has been widely criticized, but few have considered the human cost.
Nicholas Brandram, a 44 year old banker and grandfather of Princess Katherine of Greece and Denmark, took his own life after months of intense pressure from the police investigation.
The family's statement is damning in its assessment of the Met Police's tactics. Despite a lack of forensic evidence linking Brandram to the crime, he was arrested and subjected to media scrutiny.
