Constable Nicola Hughes Biographical Info Incident Details
A murder suspect who had been the subject of a vast police manhunt is believed to have lured two unarmed female constables to their deaths, police said, as tributes poured in for the officers who were fatally injured during a gun and grenade attack near Manchester. Speaking from Greater Manchester police headquarters, where the flag was flying at half mast, Chief Constable Sir Peter Fahy said Fiona Bone, 32, and Nicola Hughes, 23, died after going out on routine patrol to check a reported burglary in Hattersley, Tameside, shortly before 11am As they arrived at the property in Abbey Gardens, he said, they came under fire from bullets and a grenade. Cregan is believed, said Sir Peter, to either have made the 999 call himself or told someone else to make it. Police had no intelligence linking him to the address or the street, he said. "It would appear Cregan has deliberately done this in an act of cold-blooded murder," Sir Peter told a press conference, adding that the 29-year-old's motive for the attack was, for the moment, "impossible to fathom". Shortly after the incident Cregan handed himself in at a police station in Hyde. He was subsequently arrested on suspicion of the murder of both officers, as well as on suspicion of two counts of murder in relation to the killings of a father and son, who died in separate attacks this year. Sir Peter said it appeared Cregan had been "protected by a criminal conspiracy to harbour him" and every effort would be made to bring those involved "to book". Officer Hughes had been making prepations for her wedding.
