Police appeal to trace family of cop killed on duty

The Isle of Man Constabulary's historian wants to make contact with PC Denis Hamer's relatives - he was killed on September 7th 1976. 

 

The 26-year-old had been with the Manx force for almost a year when he was struck by an out-of-control bike during the Manx Grand Prix. 

 

He was on duty at Union Mills when the incident happened - he died instantly. 

 

In a post shared on Facebook the constabulary has published a photo of the officer and asked for the family to get in touch.
