The following statement is issued in response to requests to release CCTV and body-worn footage:

South Wales Police has provided all relevant CCTV footage and body-worn video to the IOPC who are now conducting an independent investigation into police contact with Mohamud Hassan prior to his death in Cardiff on Saturday (9 January).

Therefore the footage cannot be released by South Wales Police while the IOPC is investigating.

Our thoughts and condolences are with the family and friends of Mr Hassan and we acknowledge the impact that his death has had on the wider community.

We are fully co-operating with the IOPC investigation and are providing them with all of the information and material they have requested.
