[1] Died 6 July 1940 (aged 28) Cause of death stabbing Police career Department Metropolitan Police Service Rank Sergeant Badge no. 890A
Sgt. Jack William Avery (5 November 1911 – 6 July 1940) was a British War Reserve Constable who was murdered in Hyde Park, London , having served less than one year with the Metropolitan Police Service .
On 5 July, Sgt. Avery was advised by a member of the public that Frank Stephen Cobbett was acting suspiciously. Avery approached Cobbett, who was lying on the grass and writing on a piece of paper, and took the paper from him. Avery returned the paper to Cobbett, who stabbed the officer in the groin or upper thigh with a carving knife. Avery died the next day.[2]
Cobbett, a 42-year-old homeless labourer, was originally sentenced to death by Mr. Justice Atkinson , even though the jury strongly recommended mercy because of his "low mentality."[3] manslaughter instead.[4] [5]
In 2007, Ian Blair , then Metropolitan Police Commissioner , unveiled a memorial to Avery in Hyde Park, close to the place where he was attacked.[6]
