40-year-old murder case: retired officer seeks private prosecution against Saleh Ibrahim Mabrouk for Yvonne Fletcher's killing at Libyan Embassy in London.

40 years after PC Yvonne Fletcher's murder, retired police officer John Murray is launching a private prosecution against Saleh Ibrahim Mabrouk for conspiracy to murder. Fletcher was killed outside the Libyan Embassy in London in 1984 during a demonstration against the Libyan regime. The Crown Prosecution Service has previously dropped a case against Mabrouk due to issues with national security evidence. A private prosecution by Murray would involve seeking Mabrouk's extradition.
