Tommy’s sister Donna Mooney has been at the forefront of campaigning for change and challenging the harmful consequences of the IPP sentence, which was abolished back in 2012.

    Unlawful Killing: Truth | Series 2 Episode 2

    In the forty years since INQUEST was founded by families bereaved by deaths in police and prison custody, the ways in which these deaths are investigated has changed significantly. These changes were fought for by bereaved families, their lawyers, activists and organisations like INQUEST. Yet despite these changes, people continue to die preventable deaths at the hands of the state. In this episode, Lucy and Lee delve back into our archive to look at what’s changed, how the state continues to defend itself, and why bereaved families are still having to fight for the truth. Unlawful Killing is made in partnership with INQUEST and Aunt Nell. Produced by Leila Hagmann and Naomi Oppenheim. Thanks for the continued support of Aunt Nell.

    Unlawful Killing: Truth | Series 2 Episode 1

    When a member of the public dies in suspicious circumstances, there’s a criminal investigation. But what happens when it’s the state that’s the suspect?  Lucy and Lee are back and this time, they’re looking at what happens after someone has died at the hands of the state and how families are often left in the dark fighting for answers.  Shot in 1985 by police in Brixton, Cherry Groce died 26 years later. In 2011, an inquest found that Cherry died as a result of the bullet lodged in her spine. Lee tells us what happened after his mum’s death, the inquest process and his families’ long journey to the truth.    Unlawful Killing is made in partnership with INQUEST and Aunt Nell.

    Unlawful Killing: Mental Health Part 1 | Episode 5

    Mental health services are often framed as the caring alternative to policing and prisons. But Lucy and Lee look at what happens when the very system designed to protect us, fails to do just that.    Mikey Powell, 38, and Jess Durdy, 27, both died whilst in mental health crisis. Two very different stories. Two decades apart. Through these two very different instances of state violence and neglect, Lucy and Lee look at just how far-reaching the scale of the problem is, and the communities it harms the most.  We hear from Mikey’s cousin Tippah Napthali and Jess’s mum Moira Durdy about what mental health services in Britain are really like and what their deaths have meant to them and their families.   Unlawful Killing is made in partnership with INQUEST and Aunt Nell.

    Liridon Saliuka, 29, took his own life whilst awaiting trail for joint enterprise charges at Belmarsh prison in London. Last year, an inquest into his death found that ill treatment and dismissiveness of his disability by prison staff contributed to his death. Lucy and Lee speak to Liridon’s sister Dita Saliuka, about what he meant to her, disability discrimination, and why prisons aren’t safe for anyone. Dita and Lee draw parallels between their experiences of caring for their loved ones, grieving their deaths and finding the strength to continue the fight.

    Unlawful Killing: Prisons Part 1 | Episode 3

    Every year hundreds of people die in prisons in the UK. We’ll be asking why so many people are dying, why so few people are talking about it, and hearing more about the communities and families that these deaths tear apart.  In this episode, Lucy Brisbane and Lee Lawrence look at the children and young people who have died in prisons in the past, and how family led campaigns have led to vital changes which continue to save lives.  Joseph Scholes, 16, and Jake Foxall, 19, both died self-inflicted deaths in young offenders' prisons, over a decade apart. Their mothers have been at the forefront of campaigns for change.  We hear from Jake’s mother Maryann Walters about what prisons in the UK are really like and what it’s like having a son in prison.  Unlawful Killing is made in partnership with INQUEST and Aunt Nell.

    Unlawful Killing: Policing Part 1 | Episode 1

    Since INQUEST was founded in 1981, it has recorded almost 2000 deaths involving the police. In this episode, Lucy Brisbane and Lee Lawrence take you right back to one of the cases that led to INQUEST being set up to respond to these deaths: the killing of Blair Peach in 1979. Just a few years later, Lee’s mother Cherry Groce was shot by Brixton police, sparking the 1985 Brixton uprisings. This episode features Celia Stubbs, the partner of Blair Peach, founder member of INQUEST and a core participant in the Undercover Policing Inquiry. Decades on, the more recent fatal police shooting of Chris Kaba has brought the same issues back to the fore. Lucy and Lee will be exploring this more in episode two through an interview with Chris' dad, Prosper Kaba. Lucy and Lee look at what connects these deaths and the ongoing struggles for justice. ***Celia's mention of the 'ANL' is in reference to the Anti-Nazi League that was set up in 1977 to oppose the rise of far-right groups in the UK***   Unlawful Killing is made in partnership with INQUEST and Aunt Nell.
