Death of Sean Rigg Biography

Death of Sean Rigg is one of the most popular and richest Celebrity who was born on February 11, 1968 in Birmingham, United Kingdom. The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) began an investigation into the death of Rigg on August 22, 2008. The investigation was completed in 18 months it concluded that there was no evidence of negligence or wrongdoing , and the police performed their duties “reasonably and proportionately.” This IPCC investigation was concluded by February 2010 , but the release of its report was later delayed till Coroner’s Court proceedings had been completed.

In November 2012, it was declared that an independent examination of the IPCC investigation will be conducted under the direction of Silvia Casale who was the former president of both European as well as the United Nations committees for the prevention of torture as well as inhuman and cruel treatment to prisoners. The review, which was the first of its kind to any IPCC investigation, will also examine whether any police officers or emergency telephone operators ought to be prosecuted for misconduct or in criminal cases.

The report was published on 17 May 2013. It concluded that the IPCC committed a series of major blunders and that there had been “inappropriate conduct” by the Police Federation of England and Wales. Failings included:

In March 2013 three Metropolitan Police officers were arrested on suspicion of perverting the course of justice with regard to evidence given at Rigg’s inquest. In April 2014 the IPCC passed files to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) to consider whether criminal charges of perjury and perverting the course of justice should be brought against two of the officers, Sgt Paul White and PC Mark Harratt. White had given evidence at the inquest that he had checked on Rigg and carried out a risk assessment while he was detained in the police van, including his posture and his general demeanour, but CCTV evidence proved he had not visited the van at any time. Harratt had corroborated White’s version of events. The third officer was cleared by the IPCC.

Following Rigg’s verdict in the inquest The Independent Commission on Mental Health and Policing was created in September 2012, to review the actions that police officers of the Metropolitan Police when dealing with individuals with mental health problems. The commission examined 55 cases of mentally ill persons who passed away or suffered serious injuries in police custody or during the police’s contact between September 2007 and September 2012. Five people passed away due to restraint by police and 45 later took their own lives. The report also contained four suicides committed caused by Metropolitan Police officers.

Sean Rigg was a 40-year-old black British musician and music producer suffering from schizophrenia-related paranoia. He passed away following an cardiac arrest on the 21st of August 2008, while being held in custody by the police near the entrance of Brixton police station in South London, England. The incident was an occasion for celebration by civil rights and justice activists across the United Kingdom, who called for “improvement and change on a national level” in relation to the deaths of police officers and the treatment of those with mental health problems.

Daniel Machover, the solicitor representing Rigg’s brother Wayne Reacted: “Now that the IPPC has published its February 2010 report, the public can see for itself that the IPCC failed to properly examine the most basic evidence in its possession in Sean Rigg’s case, including police incident records, photographs of the restraint and CCTV footage, which meant that officers were never asked key questions until the inquest. This helps to account for the gulf between the IPCC’s ludicrous findings and the jury’s damning narrative verdict: so, while the IPCC gave the police a clean bill of health in 2010, two weeks ago the inquest jury was highly critical of every aspect of the police conduct, including the eight minutes restraint in the prone position, a fact totally missed by the IPCC.” Deborah Coles of the charity group Inquest that advocates on behalf of families who have lost a loved one and focuses on the death of a detainee, stated: “The IPCC investigation was fundamentally flawed from the outset and it is shameful that without the relentless and dogged determination of the family and their legal team, so many of these failures would never have been uncovered.”

In August 2012, an inquest jury at Southwark Coroner’s Court returned a narrative verdict which concluded that the police had used “unsuitable and unnecessary force” on Rigg, that officers failed to uphold his basic rights and that the failings of the police “more than minimally” contributed to his death. The inquest highlighted serious shortfalls in the IPCC’s investigation, while South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust was also criticised for failing to organise a mental health assessment for Rigg and failing to ensure that he took his medication.

In July 2015 the CPS said that, following a request from Rigg’s family under the Victims’ Right to Review (VRR) policy, it had reviewed and overturned its previous decision and would now prosecute White. White was formally charged with perjury and bailed to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on 8 September 2015, but was not suspended from duties. Sue Hemming, the head of the CPS’s special crime and counter-terrorism division, said: “After careful consideration of the evidence, I have decided that there is sufficient evidence to provide a realistic prospect of conviction and that it is in the public interest to charge Paul White with one count of perjury, which relates to the evidence he gave at Mr Rigg’s inquest and therefore the original decision should be overturned. I also considered evidence against another police officer but agreed with the original decision not to prosecute due to insufficient evidence.”
