Every year hundreds of people die preventable deaths at the hands of police, whilst in prison, or in the care of mental health services in the UK. Some of the names you’ll know. Most of them you won’t.
Bereaved families are left fighting for answers, demanding justice, and campaigning for change, in a system that is stacked against them.
Drawing on four decades of campaigning and in conversation with those at the forefront of these struggles, hosts Lee Lawrence, advocate and son of Cherry Groce, and Lucy Brisbane from INQUEST, shine a light on injustice, amplify stories of resistance and explore the best way forward.
If you need support after listening to this podcast, see the INQUEST page on external sources of support.
If you are a bereaved family member and would like support from INQUEST, see their help and advice pages for more information.
Unlawful Killing is made in partnership with INQUEST and Aunt Nell. Produced by Leila Hagmann and Naomi Oppenheim. Consultant Producers Tash Walker and Adam Zmith.
This podcast is part funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and Hodge Jones & Allen. Oral histories supported by OnTheRecord. Music by Dave Okumu.
