A long awaited review into deaths in Police Custody has called for sweeping changes to the way the cases are investigated. The report notes that prosecutions of Police Officers over the past 15 years havent resulted in a single conviction as our correspondent Elaine Dunkley reports. No peace, nojustice they are the families whose loved ones have died in Police Custody. Many say they are caught in a system where the truth is hard to find. In 2008 sean rigg, who had Mental Health problems, died in Police Custody. Cctv shows him lying unresponsive on the floor of Brixton Police station. As yet, no one has been prosecuted for his death. His sister marcia says there has been nojustice for her family and many others. It is one thing having to deal with the death, it is the battlefield afterwards that you just cant find out actually what happens to them. Why have they got these injuries . Where did these injuries come from . And they always seem to blame the person that died. When i first saw my brother, ifainted. All i can say is it is one of the most painful things i have ever had to do. 0thers share that pain. Injune 2010, James Herbert also died in Police Custody. He too had a history of mental illness. The Police Forces will get at taxpayers expense, the legal representation they require. Youve lost somebody that you love very much, and you are then put into a situation where you have to beg, in effect, and grovel, to get funding to actually get a fair hearing at the inquest. Todays review acknowledges that people suffering from a Mental Health crisis, particularly those from a black, asian and ethnic minority background, are more likely to die in Police Custody, due to the prolonged use of restraint. More than 100 recommendations have been made, which include Holding Police to account at an individual and corporate level if restraint is unnecessary, excessive or disproportionate. No conferring among initial accounts from Police Officers involved in a death in custody and free legal advice forfamilies. I think this report is a story of system failure over many years, and that is why the Prime Minister theresa may commissioned it, after she had met the families. And having met families myself with the home secretary, i share the view that this has got to lead to profound change. My brother was killed during a Mental Health crisis. These families have fought for answers and campaigned for change. Hello there. I am Tulsen Tollett and this is sport today, live from the bbc sports centre.
