Two Met officers denied hearing Clarke say ‘I can’t breathe’ before he died under restraint in 2018

The family of a black man who died after being restrained by police officers who denied having heard him say “I can’t breathe” have condemned the police discipline system after two officers were cleared of gross misconduct.

Kevin Clarke, 35, died while in police custody in 2018, with the restraint having lasted more than 30 minutes.
