An inquest has revealed the tragic final moments of a police officer who was found dead in a park.
The officer, identified only as a woman, was heard 'screaming for help' by a member of the public just hours before her body was discovered.
The hearing was told that the woman was last seen alive at 1:45 am and was found dead at 3:45 am.
A post-mortem examination was unable to determine a definitive cause of death, leaving the investigation open.
A man, who was a key suspect in the case, was arrested on suspicion of murder but was subsequently released under investigation, pending further inquiries.
The death of the officer has sent shockwaves through the community, particularly the local police force.
Her family was present at the inquest, which was adjourned for further investigation, and has called for a swift resolution.
Police have asked for any witnesses who may have been in the area at the time to come forward with information to help with their investigation.
The case highlights the dangers and unpredictability of police work and the need for greater support and protection for officers on duty.
It also sheds light on the difficulties of investigating a crime without a clear cause of death, and the challenges faced by law enforcement in seeking justice for their colleagues and providing answers for the victim's family.
The investigation remains ongoing, with police committed to understanding the circumstances surrounding this heartbreaking incident.
