Family of Sean Rigg hold memorial to mark five years since his death in custody

---

The family of Sean Rigg held a memorial on Wednesday of last week outside Brixton police station in south London. He died in custody there in 2008. Campaigners also joined the vigil.

His family are fighting for answers to what happened to the 40 year old musician. An independent review is underway into the Independent Police Complaints Commission’s handling of Sean’s death in police custody. It will also examine whether any officer should face charges over  Sean’s arrest, restraint and death.
