We have to inform you of the death of Leslie George Weston, aged 94 years, a retired Police Officer. He died on Friday 17 April 2020. Our thoughts are with the family at this difficult time.
As we are not able to attend the funeral due to the present emergency we have put a condolence book on the site for you to write your comments.
Leslie joined the Leicester Police in 1946 where he met and married his wife June. He then transferred to Nottingham City Police and served for most of his career in the Scenes of Crime Department. He retired in 1976 and returned to the Department to continue his work as a civilian. The photo shows Leslie holding the FA Cup when it was won by Nottingham Forest in 1959.

Never knew Les in the Police, but spent a fair time speaking with him at his Bungalow in Basford. A very Honest and interesting man who obviously enjoyed working in SOCO. I believe he probably was the last surviving Detective who worked on the ‘Pretty Windows Murder. Les it was an Honour to know you and I share that respect with many Colleagues.
Our Sympathy goes out to your family.

Remembered for his pleasant personality and patience in explaining the skill of fingerprint identification and importantly the preservation of fingerprints. Especially helpful to a young officer on attachment to the CID and a little later as a very junior member of the CID in the early 1960’s with respect I send my condolences to his family.
