Chris Hurley caused Mulrunji's death then lied about it, magistrate finds

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Fri, 14/05/2010 - 2:28pm

By John Paul Janke.
POLICEMAN Chris Hurley caused the death of Cameron Mulrunji Doomadgee in the Palm Island police lockup then lied about it because he feared retribution, a magistrate has found at the third inquest into the controversial death in custody case. Deputy Chief Magistrate Brian Hine accepted the fatal injuries suffered by Mr Doomadgee - a burst portal vein and a liver which was cleaved in two - were caused by Senior Sergeant Chris Hurley. However he was unable to rule whether the injuries were inflicted deliberately or accidentally.

more on the not so unexpected racism involved in the secrecy and suppression involving the history of thuggery by hurley towards aboriginal people.

the qld. police tried every trick in the book in an attempt to stop the assault record of hurley being made public but had only half a victory. it was used in the inquest but was not made public.

Coroner finds Aboriginal elder "cooked to death" in a police van.

Submitted by Flowerpower on Fri, 12/06/2009 - 9:19pm

In a damning and disturbing finding today the WA Coroner has released their report into the death of Aboriginal Elder known as Mr Ward. The Coroner found that Mr Ward has died a "ghastly" death and essentially cooked in the police van he was being transported in. This case shows up both institutionalized racism and the flaws in the privatization of correctional services. Justice needs to be served in yet another Aboriginal Death in Custody.
