It is with sadness that I have to inform you of the death on the 21st March 2022, whilst on holiday in Portugal, of ex PC 1113 Michael Christopher WINCHURCH, 67 years. His next of kin is his wife Ann Winchurch.
Michael took ill whilst on holiday and after 3 weeks of tests they found a terminal tumour and he passed away at Faro Hospital, Portugal. As is the case abroad with quick funerals, he was cremated on Friday 25th March, 2022 and his ashes were scattered near his holiday home. Michael was a former cadet and was stationed mainly in B Division as uniform and CID until his retirement in 2003 when he worked in Crime Management at Buxton. Sean Murphy (Secretary)
