Junkie allegedly dumped by cops, freezes to death
"A heroin addict died of hypothermia in a field after police dropped her in another force's area to 'get her off their patch,' a jury was told yesterday. Michelle Wood, 25, a mother of three, was found dead in a field by a pigeon shooter a month after two officers left her at the boundary of the Lincolnshire and Humberside Police forces five miles from her home... Hull Crown Court was told that Miss Wood, from Grimsby, had been driven to a point on the A16 by Lincolnshire police constables Andrew Wood and Ian Clark and left outside a motor dealership... Wood's body was found about 200 yards from where she had been dropped off. She was wearing an Adidas top with a sweatshirt underneath plus a short sleeved shirt and a T-shirt. She was not wearing socks or shoes."
