Condolences Open For PSNI Officer
People have been paying their respects to PSNI officer Philippa Reynolds, who was killed while on duty in L’Derry on Saturday.
Two books of condolence have been opened in the city's Tower Museum and the Waterside Library, Glendermott Road.
Constable Reynolds, 27, died in a crash involving a stolen car on the Limavady Road at 03:40 on Saturday.
She was a back seat passenger in an unmarked police car at the time of the crash.
Two other officers also in the vehicle at the time were hurt but not seriously injured.
The former teacher from the greater Belfast area joined the PSNI two years ago.
Two men have appeared at Londonderry Magistrates’ Court over her death. The accused, aged 25 and 23, face charges including aggravated vehicle and causing death or grievous bodily injury.
PSNI Chief Constable Matt Baggott called Constable Reynolds’ death "a personal tragedy for her family and also for the whole Police Service."
He said: "She was out on duty, working to keep people safe, when she died. My thoughts and prayers are with her family at this time. I and my colleagues will ensure that no stone remains unturned as we work to bring to justice those who perpetrated this crime."
District Commander, Chief Superintendent Stephen Cargin, added: "I would like to offer my sincere condolences to the family and colleagues of Constable Philippa Reynolds on this tragic day.
"I would like to appeal to anyone who has information and may have seen the silver land cruiser travelling between the Gobnascale and Limavady Road areas between 03:00 and 03:30 on Saturday 9 February, or if they saw the two people who fled the scene and ran off towards the Ebrington area."
Anyone with information is asked to contact Detectives at Strand Road police station on 0845 600 8000 or call the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
