A policeman who hung himself felt trapped in his job and was disheartened after a letter of complaint about policing was sent to the Chief Constable, an inquest heard today.
Twenty-seven-year-old PC Andrew Miller was found hanging in the home he shared with wife Julie, in Middleham Way, Newton Aycliffe, on Monday, January 29, this year.
His wife told South West Durham Coroner Colin Penna that he had taken a letter complaining about policing in Chilton, where he was the beat policeman, personally.
She said he was also estranged from his family and felt that he was flawed and trapped in a job he didn't like.
