The family of a woman found hanged in a South Gloucestershire prison cell has failed at the Court of Appeal to win a new inquest into her death.
Mother-of-five Caroline Powell, 26, was found dead at HMP Eastwood Park, Falfield, in January 2007.
The following May an inquest jury ruled Miss Powell's death was accidental.
Lawyers for one of her children said jurors were not told they could record a narrative verdict. But judges ruled a new inquest would serve no purpose.
I just wonder why a mother of 5 children was remanded into custody in the first place? Couldn't she have been allowed bail?
why should she have been bailed? Burglary and breach of community order...why should we not be spared the risk of her doing it again?
