Inquest into the men’s deaths will examine how the men were assessed for suspected intoxication, policies and procedures for police interaction with intoxicated people
The lawyers for the families in these cases argue that both men were in medical distress and mistreated by police while in custody.
Ms. Mamakwa testified she found out about her brother’s passing through news reports of a 44-year-old male dead in custody. She and her sister drove around looking for him before going to the police station to confirm their fears. Ms. Mamakwa had just seen her brother days before when she gave him a new pair of shoes.
Ms. Kakekayash also testified how Mr. Mamakwa was a diabetic who managed his condition well when he wasn’t using alcohol.
