This is a very serious trend for so many prisoners to die in Police custody especially by hanging. Nobody has learnt lessons to prevent this e.g not to let them have items for self harm like sheets, shoe laces, sharp implements Risk assessments made as to the suicidal tendencies, mental state, Better observation, etc. The officer in-charge at the time should be disciplined.

The S.L. Police are never to be blamed - they are 'paragons' of virtue.
