Well no.. just handcuffed and left to die after being stabbed (while the perpetrators face no consequences).

> (while the perpetrators face no consequences).

Bullshit!

Vickrum Digwa, the perpetrator of that crime, was jailed for life with a minimum sentence review time of 21 years.

What's more it's thought that sentence is unduly lenient so it's being reviewed to make is stronger.

I meant the policemen of course. They were never tried for manslaughter or even fired(?). So at least in this case the lack of accountability is similar what is regularly happening in the US.

The IOPC is still investigating the police officers involved.

They won't release their findings until September, so it's too early to say that there's no accountability.
