Once again, this year, like every year hundreds gathered for the annual march against deaths in police custody in Britain. Most of those here are family members who say they have lost loved ones at the hands of the police. Like the family of Sean Riggs who died on 21 August 2008. A 40-year old musician, he was arrested in the street by four officers and taken to a nearby police station. He was placed in a metal cage in the yard. 20 minutes later he was dead.

An 83-year-old mother was turned away from the Home Office on Tuesday after travelling from Wales to seek justice for the son who was murdered 25 years ago.

Isobel Hulsmann vowed that she would “not go away” as she seeks answers from the government as to why no one has been brought to justice over the death of her son, Daniel Morgan, in March 1987.

Her vigil came after Home Secretary Theresa May refused to hold a judicial inquiry into the police corruption that led to the failure to solve Britain’s longest-running murder case.

Kingsley Burrell: ‘No closure’ for family

Seven months after a 29-year-old man died in a West Midlands hospital his family are still waiting to hear how he died. Kingsley Brown was detained under the Mental Health Act in March after West Midlands Police officers attended an incident on Icknield Port Road, Birmingham.

Mr Brown was transferred to a unit in the city and then moved to a hospital where he died four days later. The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) is conducting an investigation while a separate inquiry is being carried out by Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health Trust.

Mr Brown’s 28-year-old sister, Kadesha Burrell Brown, who organised a march to West Midlands Police headquarters in July in memory of her brother, told BBC News the family had “no answers and no closure”.
