Published 6:00 AM ET, Tues August 3, 2021Editor’s note: This story is part of CNN’s commitment to covering issues around identity, including race, gender, sexuality, religion, class and caste.Alina Joseph needed a change of scene. Looking for more space for her seven children, fresher air, and a new job, she moved her family from the bustling area of north London where she had lived for most of her life, to the South Wales valleys.
Hours later, rumors began to spread in the close-knit community that something had happened to her son in the nearby river. Kapessa’s older sister heard from friends that Kapessa, who could not swim, may have jumped into the water; others alleged that he had been pushed.The police came to her home that afternoon and searched it, telling Joseph that Christopher was missing and they needed to check if he was hiding in the house, she told CNN. Hours later, at around 7 p.m.
That was not the case. “It was a homicide,” Suresh Grover, director of the Monitoring Group, an anti-racism charity that is helping Joseph, told CNN.The force failed to cordon off the scene Despite having a “realistic prospect of conviction for manslaughter,” the CPS decided it was “not in the public interest to prosecute” the suspect. It said Kapessa’s death was the result of a “foolish prank, with nothing to suggest that the suspect intended to harm him.”
“There was nothing in any of the statements of the young people which suggested any racial issues or that this was a hate crime,” it added.
There’s an obvious troll here. Just block them. They have nothing of relevance to say about this article. They’re just here to distract
CNN race baiting again. CNN constantly reporting on incidents involving blacks against whites. Maybe is was an accident. Maybe the others involved didn’t want to kill the young man. Maybe he’s remorseful. But no, CNN make it about race and keep dividing.
Noticing that when the police say 'best interest'. Those best interests always favor whatever white person is involved. Not one of those 12 white kids could swim? How did the police account for the time the white kids pushed him in. Until he actually drowned?
Interesting read. Hope this is thoroughly investigated now.
