Gordon Fraser, former Assistant Chief Constable of Leicestershire Police, Took His Own Life

Gordon Fraser, former Assistant Chief Constable of Leicestershire Police, was suspended over allegations of misconduct and fraud in December 2010.

Leicestershire officer Gordon Fraser's death suicide, inquest concludes.

He was hit by a train in October 2012, days before he was due in court charged with perverting the course of justice.

Mrs Fraser, a former detective with West Midlands Police, was charged alongside her husband for perverting the course of justice over a speeding incident in Scotland in 2011.

The case was dropped last year by the Crown Prosecution Service after prosecutors decided the case was no longer in the public interest.

Mr and Mrs Fraser were both suspended from police duty in December 2010 over a separate investigation into allegations of misconduct and fraud, relating to a timeshare business in Florida.

Mrs Fraser is due to appear in court on a date yet to be set.
