Woman Police Constable (WPC) Yvonne Joyce Fletcher (1959-17 April 1984) was a British police officer who was shot and killed in London's St James's Square during a protest outside the Libyan embassy. The shooting resulted in a police siege of the embassy which lasted for eleven days, and the breakdown of diplomatic relations between the United Kingdom and Libya. Her death was the third murder or manslaughter of a British policewoman on duty, only 18 months after the first. Wikipedia
