Family of ‘Putney pusher’ suspect say he’s innocent and Met police to blame for his death
His family said there was no forensic evidence linking him to the 2017 bridge push and accused police of causing months of pressure.
- On Tuesday, 44-year-old banker Nicholas Brandram was found dead at his home in Chiswick, London, after being the prime suspect in the 2017 'Putney Pusher' case.
- A jogger shoved a woman into the path of an oncoming bus on Putney Bridge in 2017, but bus driver Oliver Salbris swerved to avoid hitting the victim.
- Brandram's family insists he was not the jogger, claiming 'no forensic evidence' linked him to the incident and blaming the Metropolitan Police investigation for causing 'immense pressure' that led to his death.
- The Metropolitan Police confirmed the death is 'unexpected' but not suspicious; the force previously closed its 2017 investigation in 2018 after releasing three men without charge.
