We have just received the sad news from Des Peters that former P.C. John Freeborough, who served here in the Bermuda Police from 1970-1975, passed away in the U.K. on 24th March 2020. Des served in the Birmingham City Police prior to joining the BPS. While here he served mainly in Eastern Division. CLICK HERE to read more about John in our “Then and Now” column.
John met his wife Sue here in Bermuda and after they returned to England John joined the West Midlands Police where he served for a total of 35 years, his last 22 years as a Sergeant. John and Sue were divorced a few years ago and we understand that Sue has since passed away.
We extend our sincere condolences to John’s two daughters, Fiona and Helen and the rest of his family.
Unfortunately, we have no further details of John’s funeral or contact details for his family.
