Kent police criticised for Top Gun tweet after identifying woman’s body

Mother of Azra Kemal, 24, says celebratory tweet on day of her daughter’s death was ‘horrendous’

A woman has criticised Kent police for sharing a tweet congratulating themselves for quickly identifying her daughter’s dead body, above a gif showing characters from the film Top Gun.

In the tweet, posted on the day Azra Kemal, 24, died after falling from a dual carriageway bridge, police praised themselves for identifying a deceased person “within about 90 minutes” of arriving at the scene, above a gif showing the film characters Maverick and Goose high-fiving.
