A 20-year-old man has been charged with the murder of PC Andrew Harper, who was killed on Thursday night while investigating a burglary in rural Berkshire.
Jed Foster, from Reading, will appear at Reading Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday.
The 28-year-old officer was killed while attending a suspected burglary near the village of Sulhamstead.
The PC’s wife, Lissie, has released a tribute, calling him “the kindest, loveliest, most selfless person” and adding: “My darling boy I do not know how I will be able to survive without you.”
