"Mohamud was released from Cardiff Bay Police Station around noon 10th January without being charged He was so severely injured he took a taxi home. Seeing a close friend when he arrived outside his house, he told him "Look fam the police have beat the shit out of me." [5]
Mohamud was from Butetown. It is less than 0.3 miles from Cardiff Bay Police station to Butetown. This speaks to the severity of his injuries that he, a healthy 24 year old man, had to take a taxi home after this arrest. [6]
"An elderly lady and friend who lived above him saw Mohamud and was in deep shock at what she saw. His light grey tracksuit was covered in blood, and he had severe injuries to his mouth and was severely bruised all over his body." [7]

"She called his Aunt, who came over immediately. On seeing Mohamud, she broke down in tears. She insisted he go to the hospital, but he said he was too weak and tired and wanted to rest for a while before seeking medical attention." [8]
"Mohamud slept for a few hours, and when a friend attempted to wake him later Saturday evening, he was unresponsive. His friend called an ambulance, and a first responder arrived on a bike. Mohamud's bedroom was too small for her to give him treatment [CONTINUED] [9]
and, he had to be moved with the assistance of his friend and was laid on the kitchen floor while the paramedic administered CPR. Two ambulance paramedics then arrived and declared him dead." [10]
"At least ten police cars attended and they locked off the residence. Mohamud was afforded no privacy nor dignity whilst he lay dead on the kitchen floor. The family attended his home but was refused entry or sight of the body by Cardiff police." [11]
Mohamud and his family deserve privacy and dignity in the peaceful resting of Mohamud's body. His family should NOT HAVE been refused entry or sight of the body by @SWPCardiff. This is not acceptable.

The family felt they were poorly treated by the officers in attendance and were left totally in the dark. Bizarrely Mohamud was left on the kitchen floor until 6.45 am Sunday before being removed. [13]

No Family Officer Liason nor anyone from South Wales Police has been in touch with family to explain what happened.
This goes against police procedure. [14]

Lee Jasper Vice-Chair of BAME Lawyers 4 Justice said "Clearly Mohamud was perfectly fine before his arrest. The critical question the family want answering is what happened to him during his arrest, in transit to and inside Cardiff Police station. [CONTINUED] [18]

"He is very severely injured on his release, so was he offered medical assistance in the police station? His death marks a grim and tragically familiar start for 2021. Black Lives will continue to matter." [19]

"His family and the wider black community will want answers. Given the realities of the implicit institutional racism of the South Wales Police, the appalling weakness of the police investigation processes, and the Independent Office of Police Complaints' [20]
and the fact that no police officer has ever been prosecuted for a death in custody, we're unlikely to get justice from a rotten system so stacked against the search for the truth. [21]
Nevertheless, that will not diminish our efforts to hold the police to account and demand justice" [22]
