G4S guards charged over death of Mubenga (21 March 2014)

Duncan Lewis, Immigration Solicitors, G4S guards charged over death of Mubenga

G4S guards are to be prosecuted over the death of deportee Jimmy Mubenga, more than four years after the incident at Heathrow Airport.

Mr Mubenga, 46, died while being restrained by G4S guards as he was being deported from the UK to Angola.

In 2012, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) decided not to prosecute three G4S guards – Colin Kaler, 51, Terrence Hughes, 53 and Stuart Tribelnig, 38 – involved in Mr Mubenga’s deportation, on the grounds of insufficient evidence. However, the decision has been reviewed after an inquest returned a verdict that Mr Mubenga was unlawfully killed.

Mr Mubenga was a father of five who had been living in Gant’s Hill in Essex with his wife since 1994. The decision to deport him back to his native country Angola was made after he served a jail term for assault in the UK.

Mr Mubenga’s 19-year-old son Roland wrote to the Director of Public Prosecutions demanding action over his father’s death.

The three G4S guards are due to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on 7 April charged with manslaughter.
