#IOPC apologises ‘unreservedly’ to #MarciaRigg, whose brother #Sean died after being restrained in #Brixton
Deborah Coles, the director of the #DeathsInCustody charity #Inquest, “Fifteen years on and with no one properly held to account, this case provides a stark reminder of how the mechanisms for holding police to account are not fit for purpose.”

She herself resigned as Home Secretary for breaching the #MinisterialCode by using her personal email account to share sensitive documents. 6 days later #RishiSunak controversially reinstated her.
Can #MichaelLockwood expect to be recalled to his #IOPC role after a week? If not, why not?
