Jimmy Mubenga death: Three G4S guards to be charged with manslaughter

Mr Mubenga was in the process of applying for permission to stay in the UK permanently when it was decided he should be deported after serving two years in jail for assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

Prior to his deportation, Mr Mubenga and his wife, Adrienne Makenda Kambana, had been living in Ilford, east London, after arriving in the UK from Angola in 1994.

Mr Mubenga died of cardio-respiratory collapse, where the heart stops beating and a person stops breathing, the inquest found.

Adrienne Makenda Kambana, Mr Mubenga’s widow, said: “My children and I have waited a long time for this decision. We hope the CPS will now move this case forward quickly.”

Mark Scott, solicitor for Mr Mubenga’s family, with Bhatt Murphy solicitors, said: “The family look to the Crown Prosecution Service now to ensure that they prosecute the case with the rigour and robustness required by the evidence available to them.

“It has been a three-and-a-half year struggle for the family to get to this point and they hope to get on with their lives once this final challenge is met.”
