He was arrested. I told my late brother to tell the authorities so they can treat him. That first week, they didn’t do anything. And the second week he said they were still saying nothing. The last time I saw him, he told me he was on a waiting list of about 400. He said he was feeling pain in his side. He had not had any health issues before. It was a pure case of negligence. If someone is in your custody, telling you he’s not feeling well, it’s your duty of care to get them checked. Any time I’m alone, I’m in tears. It’s terrible, It’s very painful. I don’t know what to do” -Alex, victim’s family * The cause of his death is unknown but the situation is being investigated”-UK Home Office BY DAVID IMONITIE/SPECIAL CRIME REPORTER, reporting LIVE from UK
