Met officers accused of not assisting in inquiry of man who drowned in Thames

The family of Oladeji Omishore, who died soon after being Tasered by an officer, launches legal action against police watchdog

The Metropolitan police’s reputation on racism is again under scrutiny after it emerged that officers involved in the death of a man who was Tasered on a London bridge are under investigation for allegedly failing to cooperate with an official inquiry into the high-profile tragedy.

A year ago tomorrow on Sunday, Oladeji Omishore, 41, fell into the River Thames after having been subjected to multiple Taser discharges by an officer on Chelsea Bridge, west London.
