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.

Officer charged with manslaughter in Aiyana case

A member of the Detroit Police Special Response Team has been charged with involuntary manslaughter in the slaying of a 7-year-old girl who was shot to death during a raid on her home. Charges were also announced against two others. Officer Joseph Weekley was charged Tuesday following a yearlong Michigan State Police investigation into the May 2010 death of Aiyana Stanley-Jones. A judge entered a not-guilty plea for Weekley at an afternoon court hearing in front of Judge Margie Braxton.

Aiyana was killed in a police raid as she slept on a couch in her home. While witnesses said police burst in shooting, police insist that the girl was shot when an officer’s gun accidentally discharged.

The raid was being filmed by a crew for the A&E network’s “The First 48″ show.

IPCC to take over investigation into complaint against van officers

The IPPC are to independently investigate a complaint by Claris Powell, made following the jury’s verdict at the Inquest into the death of her son, Mikey, in a police van on the way to a police station. The IPCC made this decision on 27 May 2011, after Claris Powell threatened to judicially review their decision to allow West Midlands Police themselves to investigate the complaint against their own officers.

An Inquest jury found on December 18 2009 that Mikey had died in the back of a police van of positional asphyxia.
