The family of a man who died in the back of a police van following a “catalogue of errors” by officers supposed to be monitoring him today spoke of their anger that nobody would face a criminal prosecution over his death.
Helen Shaw, co-director of INQUEST which investigates cases of death in custody said the death was just the latest that raised concerns about how police officers responded to people who were unwell.
“There must be an urgent review of training in the use of restraint, and where failures have been identified those responsible must be held to account.”
