Family still waiting for police to finish investigations

A vigil to mark the one-year anniversary of the death of Jimmy Mubenga will be held on 14th October 2011.

A year after his death, Jimmy’s family are still waiting for the police to finish their investigations and for the CPS to consider bringing charges against the three G4S guards arrested in connection with his death.

Fourteen year-old school girl Courtney Carr could have easily been one of the looters, but her decision to criticise the actions of her peers and the government has led to her nomination for a Spirit of London Award, an award given to young, positive role models of London.

In her articles for youth magazine Exposure, Courtney wrote about how the riots do not help Mark Duggan’s family, and offered her ideas on how we can move forward and also what the government needs to do.
