Summary of a statement issued by the Independent Office for Police Conduct today:
“….there is no evidence to suggest that Mr Hassan was Tasered at any stage either prior to or during his detention.”
“We are aware that there is a lot of speculation about the circumstances surrounding Mr Hassan’s death and we now know that some of that is inaccurate.
“As a public body we have a duty, when we are able, to try to correct misinformation that may be in the public domain.”
