The family of Nicholas Brandram has firmly denied that he was the person known as the “Putney pusher,” who allegedly pushed a woman into the path of a bus during a jog on Putney Bridge in west London in 2017. They hold the Metropolitan Police responsible for the immense pressure that led to Brandram’s death.
Brandram, 44, faced suspicion as the jogger involved in the incident nearly a decade ago. However, his family stated there was no forensic evidence linking him to the case. They also emphasized that no credible proof placed him on Putney Bridge at the time of the event or confirmed his identification as the man shown in police footage.
Family Statement Challenges Police Claims
In a public statement, Brandram’s family asserted that the available evidence actually disproved allegations against him. They highlighted the absence of any physical or forensic data connecting him to the incident and stressed that months of investigation by the Metropolitan Police subjected Brandram to immense psychological pressure.
This pressure, the family said, contributed directly to Brandram taking his own life. They placed responsibility on the police for his death, criticizing the handling of the investigation.
Metropolitan Police Response Pending
The Metropolitan Police have been approached for comment on the family’s statements and the circumstances surrounding the investigation and Brandram’s death. As of this report, no official response has been provided.
