Father of murdered cop backs calls for a new award for emergency service workers who die in the line of duty
The father of a murdered police officer has backed calls for a new posthumous award for emergency service workers who die in the line of duty. Bryn Hughes has endorsed a new campaign to persuade the government to launch a new award for police officers, firefighters, paramedics and prison officers killed in service. Neither his daughter Nicola Hughes, 23, from Saddleworth, nor her colleague Fiona Bone, 32, from Sale, were ever given such an award, although there are memorials to their sacrifice.
