David James Wilkie (9 July 1949 – 30 November 1984) was a Welsh taxi driver who was killed during the miners' strike in the United Kingdom, when two striking miners dropped a concrete block from a footbridge onto his taxi whilst he was driving a strike-breaking miner to work. The attack caused a widespread revulsion at the extent of violence in the dispute. The two miners were convicted of murder but the charge was reduced to manslaughter on appeal, becoming a leading case on the issue of the difference between the two offences.

  • David Wilkie était un chauffeur de taxi, fiancé et père de quatre enfants, qui fut assassiné le 30 novembre 1984 durant la grève des mineurs au Royaume-Uni, lorsque deux mineurs grévistes du syndicat de l'Union Nationale des Mineurs (NUM) ont fait tomber un bloc de béton depuis un pont sur son taxi parce qu'il conduisait un mineur non-gréviste à son travail. L'attaque illustre la violence utilisée lors de cette grève et a profondément choqué l'opinion britannique. Les deux mineurs, Dean Hancock et Russell Shankland, ont été reconnus coupables de meurtre et condamnés à une peine de prison à vie, mais ont fini par être libérés le 30 novembre 1989, c'est-à-dire exactement le jour du cinquième anniversaire de l'assassinat de David Wilkie.
