‘Rape’ liar who drove PC to brink of suicide gets prison

- BY DANYA BAZARAA

A POLICEMAN contemplat­ed suicide “on a daily basis” after he was falsely accused of rape, a court was told.

PC Paul Morgan spent five tormented weeks under suspicion until Samantha Murray-Evans’ lie was exposed.

She was jailed for 27 months for what a judge called a “vicious and sinister” way of getting her own back after the officer rejected her. PC Morgan said sex had been consensual after they met online. And Dyfed-Powys Police found she had sent him a string of messages, one describing the sex as the best she had ever had and telling him it had made her toes curl. At Swansea crown court, MurrayEvan­s, 44, of Birchgrove, admitted attempting to pervert the course of justice. PC Morgan, who spent a night in a cell, said he is off work with depression and anxiety.
