A mother whose daughter fell from a motorway bridge has slammed the police for a ‘horrendous’ Top Gun tweet on finding her body.
Nevres Kemal’s daughter Azra was 24 when she died after falling from a bridge in Kent, England, in July 2020 as she fled her burning car.
Mrs Kemal said the Tweet by Kent Police was “horrendous” and “unacceptable” as it boasted about finding a “deceased person’s dead body within 90 minutes” alongside a GIF showing two Top Gun characters high-fiving each other.
Mrs Kemal’s words follow what she describes as ‘months of distress’ waiting for an inquiry into necrophiliac David Fuller’s crimes – after it emerged her daughter was one of at least 102 women and girls sexually assaulted after their deaths.
In a different Tweet the hashtag crackingbitofkit was used, celebrating the police drone work used in the investigation, reports MailOnline.

She expressed her disbelief to Sky News saying: “I could not believe that professional police officers would high-five themselves and pat themselves on the back, on the back of my daughter’s demise.
“It’s more than insensitive. It’s unacceptable. What is the mindset of people investigating crimes on our behalf?”
Mrs Kemal says she was told they were still investigating but within hours a different Tweet said police were ‘satisfied there are no suspicious circumstances’.
The man Azra was travelling with, who was initially a suspect, said that in the darkness, Azra had not seen the drop between the carriageways, as she climbed over the central reservation barrier.
The investigation closed before the end of its first day and he was released with no further action.
But in Mrs Kemal’s opinion, she said she thought a forensic post-mortem examination should have been carried out and that the investigation was wrapped up too quickly.
Speaking of the police, she added: “Do the job you are supposed to do. Look at the information, look at the leads, look at the timelines, look at the interviews, go back to the witnesses, because no one saw Azra die.
“There should be a uniform process. If there is a death and there’s no witnesses to a death, everybody should have that right to a forensic autopsy.”
Sky News was told by a Kent Police spokesman: “Officers determined there were no suspicious circumstances, and a man who had initially been arrested in connection with the incident was released without charge.
“A police investigation into the circumstances then continued for several months to assist an inquest by the coroner. The subsequent inquest into the death returned a verdict of misadventure.
“A complaint about the quality of the investigation was made to Kent Police in November 2020. This complaint was sent to an independent force to review, which concluded the service provided by Kent Police had been acceptable.
“In February 2022, the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) received a request to carry out a further investigation into the complaint.
“In response, the IOPC concluded that the investigation into the complaint had been ‘reasonable and proportionate’ and that an acceptable service had been provided in respect of the criminal investigation into the woman’s death. A request to review the complaint was not upheld.”
Health Secretary Sajid Javid promised a full, independent inquiry into what happened after it emerged last year that Azra’s body was also sexually assaulted by necrophiliac David Fuller, who worked in maintenance at Tunbridge Wells Hospital.
Ms Kemal said it was not happening fast enough. She said: “The Health Secretary has made a pledge to the families and we will hold him to that pledge.
“The families are already distressed, but the proposed chair of the inquiry has yet to get in touch with any of those most affected by this scandal. They are Fuller’s victims too.
“In spite of the assurances given, we haven’t even got to first base yet after two further months of distress, waiting, and wondering. It is not good enough.”
