Two Met officers face gross misconduct hearing over Kevin Clarke death

Pair have cases to answer in death of black man who died shortly after being restrained by up to nine officers, says watchdog

Two Metropolitan police constables will face a gross misconduct hearing after the Independent Office for Police Conduct's reinvestigation into the death of Kevin Clarke, who died shortly after being restrained by up to nine officers.

The watchdog said the constables should be subject to misconduct proceedings over their alleged failure to provide an appropriate level of care to Clarke, a mentally ill black man, who could be heard saying the words I can't breathe" while being restrained, and for alleged dishonesty and lack of integrity.
