Son of jailed rioter first to die in prison wants to know why he was imprisoned and why suicide attempts were ‘not taken seriously’

The first of dead of a summer rioter in prison has sparked questions surrounding his imprisonment and why his suicide attempts were “not taken seriously”.

Casey Lynch has demanded an investigation into his father’s two previous suicide attempts were not addressed sooner, before the inmate was suspected of taking his own life.

An inquest into the grandfather’s death heard that Lynch died from hanging at HMP Moorland, South Yorkshire on October 19.

He had been initially jailed for taking part in the riots outside a Holiday Inn Express which accommodated asylum seekers, where he yelled “scum” and “child killers” at police officers.

He was later sentenced to two years and eight months at Sheffield Crown Court.

Requesting further information regarding the investigation into his father’s death, Casey Lynch said: “I’d like it to be investigated whether my dad should’ve been there in the first place.”

Additionally, he asked if the coroner could locate the judge’s sentencing because he wanted “to know what remarks he made about my dad on sentence.”

He also wanted to know why his father’s two previous suicide attempts were not “taken seriously” by the necessary authorities.
