I WOULD like to take this opportunity to once more thank the Swindon officers who, under the direction of Paul Granger, brought Glyn Razzell to justice for the murder of my sister Linda.

I read with much satisfaction of the awards presented to these special people, and offer them my congratulations.

Those of the squad who were present at Bristol Crown court during the trial were a daily source of encouragement and support to myself and my family, and we recognise that the professionalism and dedication of these officers was a paramount factor in this most distressing case.
