Three employees of security company G4S have been charged with the manslaughter of a man who died as he was being deported from Britain in October 2010.
The English prosecution service today rolled back on a previous decision not to bring charges in relation to the death of Jimmy Mubenga after it examined new evidence in the case.
Jimmy Mubenga died as he was being deported from Britain to his native Angola after being restrained by the three accused on board a plane at Heathrow airport.
Mubenga had been granted leave to stay in England after moving to the country in 1994. However, in 2006 he was convicted of actual bodily harm and sentenced to two years in prison following a brawl in a nightclub. Upon his release, he was transferred to an immigration detention centre and the process of his deportation began.
An inquest into his death found that he had died of cardio-respiratory collapse.
The Crown Prosecution Service said today the the three G4S employees ? Colin Kaler, Terrence Hughes and Stuart Tribelnig ? are to be prosecuted for manslaughter, following an inquest which returned a verdict of unlawful killing.
