Case Ref : 19840323, Fletcher, Yvonne
Official Narrative
The murder of Yvonne Fletcher, a Metropolitan Police officer, occurred on 17 April 1984, when she was fatally wounded by a shot fired from the Libyan embassy on St James's Square, London, by an unknown gunman. Fletcher had been deployed to monitor a demonstration against the Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, and died shortly afterwards. Her death resulted in an eleven-day siege of the embassy, at the end of which those inside were expelled from the country and the United Kingdom severed diplomatic relations with Libya.

I was just wondering if the same people involved in the Jill Dando assassination, and maybe people interviewed in the documentary, which was superb, are privy to how WPC Yvonne Fletcher really died.
