Detective Constable Stephen Oake was stabbed during an anti-terrorism raid
|
The compensation payments to the family of murdered policeman Stephen Oake have been condemned as "derisory".
Det Con Oake was stabbed to death by ricin plotter Kamel Bourgass in a flat in Manchester in 2003.
His wife and three children have each received £13,000 from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority.
On Sunday, a spokesman for the Greater Manchester Police Federation condemned the figure, saying it failed to match the sacrifice Det Con Oake had made.
The 40-year-old was stabbed while protecting colleagues during a police raid on a flat in Crumpsall, north Manchester, in January 2003.
His family has received a total of about £52,000, a figure intended to reflect Stephen Oake's age, the type of pension he had and the age and number of dependent family members.
