In their 13 years together Hadlow couple Simon Huggins and his fiancee Felicity Austin spent only one day apart.

They brought up three children, Jordan, 10, Brandon, 7, and Kian, 5, at their home in The Paddock, and were looking forward to spending the rest of their lives together after Simon proposed earlier this year.

They were a close couple in a close-knit village community.

All that changed on Tuesday, May 5, at around 12.35pm, when 29-year-old Felicity’s Renault Megane collided with an unmarked police car, as she made her way back home from a shopping trip along the A21 near Tunbridge Wells.

Two police officers injured in the crash have both since been released from hospital, but the 34-year-old father and his three children are having to come to terms with life without their “beautiful and loving” partner and mother.

Still numb from the news of her death - and with an Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) investigation under way - Mr Huggins, 34, has now called for justice for his fiancee.

“We need to know the details” he said, “she was a safe driver, she had only just come off the roundabout and was on the right side of the road. They have to justify it and look me in the eye, and look my boys in the eye. It’s screwed us up for life.”

Mr Huggins paid tribute to his fiancee, and said: "The kids have turned out to be so beautiful and its because of her.”

“She was caring, beautiful person; she was always helping someone else out, she’d give people money, she was so loving."

He added: "I need to say thank you to people round here. The community have been so supportive of us."
