Yes..... Yvonne Joyce Fletcher (1959–17 April 1984) was a police officer who was shot and killed in London's St James's Square while on duty during a protest outside the Libyan embassy. Her death resulted in a police siege of the embassy, which lasted for eleven days. The shooting also caused the breakdown of diplomatic relations between the United Kingdom and Libya. Her death was the third murder or manslaughter of an on-duty mainland British policewoman, only 18 months after the first.[1]
Yvonne Fletcher was born in Wiltshire and joined the Metropolitan Police in 1977. At 5 ft 2¾in (159 cm) tall, she was believed to be Britain's shortest police officer (at the time, police officers were generally subject to minimum height requirements).
Nobody has ever been convicted of her murder, though after 15 years the Libyan government finally accepted responsibility for her death and agreed to pay compensation to her family.[2]

Yes. However, if the person holding immunity has committed a crime entirely unrelated to their diplomatic activity, the country which granted them diplomatic status may choose to withdraw it. In that case, they can be tried like any other criminal. |
