Putney pusher suspect told family investigation was 'murdering him' before death
Nicholas Brandram, the man suspected in a series of London pushings, died by suicide after telling his sisters the police investigation had left him with 'no fight left.'
Nicholas Brandram, 44, the suspect in the "Putney pusher" case, told his sisters Alexia Hicks and Sophie Voelcker days before his death that the Metropolitan police investigation was "murdering him," according to an exclusive account in The Guardian. Brandram said he had "no fight left" and could not see an end to the investigation or the online abuse he was facing.
The sisters' account offers insight into Brandram's deteriorating mental health in the period immediately before he took his life. The "Putney pusher" case involved a series of incidents in which pedestrians were pushed in the southwest London area.
