Nicholas Brandram Family Blames Police for Death of 'Putney Pusher' Suspect
The family of Nicholas Brandram, the 32-year-old man identified as a suspect in the 'Putney pusher' case, has placed blame squarely on the Metropolitan Police for his death. Brandram was found deceased in a south-west London flat after reportedly being named as the individual who pushed a woman into the path of a bus in Putney, London.
His family insists there was no forensic evidence connecting him to the widely publicised incident. They contend that the police's pursuit and public identification of Brandram as a suspect were directly responsible for the circumstances leading to his death. A spokesman for the family stated, "We believe the police are culpable for Nicholas's death. He was innocent, and they hounded him without proof."
The Metropolitan Police have acknowledged Brandram's death and confirmed that an investigation into the circumstances is underway. However, they have refrained from further comment on the family's accusations, citing ongoing inquiries. The original incident involved a jogger pushing a woman into the path of a double-decker bus on Putney Bridge in May 2017, an event that garnered significant media attention.
