One said they were left shaken after arriving at a relative’s service to find Pittams driving the hearse, carrying the coffin and handing out cords at the graveside
A shamed police sergeant who terrorised three women over a 26-year period is now working as an undertaker.
Pittams carried out a catalogue of physical and emotional abuse on two wives and a long-term girlfriend over more than 20 years. He threw a cutlery drawer at one victim because it was dirty, and lashed out at another when he couldn’t find a pair of socks while they were on holiday. “I was horrified when we turned up to the parlour for her service to see Iain Pittams working there. I couldn’t believe it. I recognised him straight away as the police sergeant who had to retire early after being exposed as a serial domestic abuser. He helped remove the coffin from the parlour after the service and even drove the hearse to the graveside.
“How can a guy who terrorised three women he was supposed to love have compassion and respect for, and be empathetic to, people he doesn’t even know? I am disgusted that a serial domestic abuser is interacting with vulnerable people at such a difficult time for them, when they are grieving the loss of a loved one.
