Jason Oscar McPherson, 25, of Bentworth Road, East Acton, died in mysterious circumstances on 18th January 2007 at Notting Hill Police Station after being arrested by officers.

McPherson was travelling in a car with two other men when the vehicle was stopped by Metropolitan Police officers in St Annes Road, Ladbroke Grove.
They were detained and taken to Notting Hill Police Station where a search was to be conducted. While there, police said Mr McPherson needed medical attention, but the reasons for this are not yet known. London Ambulance Service was called and he was taken to St Mary's Hospital, where he died at 11.32pm.

FAMILY ALREADY INJURED BY POLICE 3 WEEKS BEFORE THE KILLING

In an interview in 'The Voice', Jason's Mother Sandra Richardson explained they had both been abused and injured by the police not 3 weeks before Jason's death, when she returned home from hospital to find police at her premises:

"Jason asked them if they had a warrant. They did not show him one. I had my arm in a sling and Jason was getting my suitcase from the car. I told them I needed to sit down and they said I should sit on the pavement. I was eventually gassed and both Jason and I were arrested for obstructing the police. I was taken to the station. The sergeant asked them why I was brought into the station in my condition and ordered that I be seen by a doctor immediately. I will now have to undergo another operation because of the damage done to my eyes. Only last week Jason said to me: "mum, don't have another operation. You will be fine. You've had some near misses and I don't know what I'd do if I lost you". Now I've lost him and I want some answers."

Answers she's very unlikely to get, let alone finding justice. But in contrary endless procrastination, lies and smearing tactics by police etc. Ask any bereaved family.

  • The IPCC investigated this and were happy the police had no involvement into this persons death. It seems this video just seems to slate off the police.

    Apparently he swallowed something on being stopped by police.How did the coroner say he died and what he swallowed and put that on you tube!
