Custody death ruling a 'betrayal'

A decision not to prosecute any officers over the death of a man in a police station has been branded a "betrayal" by his family.

Paul Coker, 32, died at Plumstead police station, south-east London, about two hours after he was arrested for breaching the peace in August 2005.

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said there was insufficient evidence to bring charges against an individual.
