Tributes have poured in for a “much loved” mum-of-three who died after being hit by a van on a golf course.
Staffordshire Police today named Suzanne Cherry, of Aldridge, as the woman who died in hospital on Tuesday night after she was struck by a van on a golf course in Sutton Coldfield. It is understood the van was being pursued by police through Aston Wood Golf Club at 10.25am on April 11. Three men have been arrested this week.
The service said: “Officers from West Midlands Police arrested three men on Wednesday, April 16. A 51-year-old man, from Bloxwich, was arrested on suspicion of murder, a 22-year-old man, from Dudley, on suspicion of manslaughter and assisting an offender and a 41-year-old man, from Worcester, on suspicion of assisting an offender.
“They are being questioned by detectives in custody in Staffordshire. We are continuing to search for a man that was seen leaving Aston Wood Golf Club, on Blake Street, on foot after the collision.”
A neighbour has remembered the “much-loved” mum following her death this week. They said: “She was a much-loved friend and neighbour. What happened was just appalling. She was playing golf with her husband. He saw it all happen and is a broken man.”
Staffordshire Police added that investigators are “piecing together his movements after the collision”, and that they were going through footage collected from the scene and sent in following police appeals.
A spokesperson for Staffordshire Police renewed the call for members of the public to pass along vital information, especially dashcam, CCTV and doorbell footage from the area of Blake Street and Biurmingham Road between Sutton Coldfield and Shenstone.
They said: “If you have any dashcam, CCTV, doorbell footage or if you were in the area of Blake Street and Birmingham Road between Sutton Coldfield and Shenstone at approximately 10.25am on Friday please get in touch.
“The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) is investigating the circumstances prior to the collision when officers from West Midlands Police had responded to the vehicle being involved in reports of suspicious activity.”
