A jury has found that Metropolitan Police officers discriminated against Daryl McLune because he is Black, in a case involving his arrest as a teenager over his mother’s suicide attempt. McLune was 16 when he was detained for about 23 hours after police held him on suspicion of attempting to murder his mother, minutes after she tried to take her own life. The court found that the Met’s actions were racially discriminatory. Following the ruling, McLune has been awarded damages that total up to £130,000. The outcome reflects findings that his treatment by officers was not justified and was influenced by race. The case focuses on the circumstances and conduct of the arrest and detention, as well as the jury’s conclusion that discrimination occurred. The decision provides compensation for McLune and establishes a legal finding of racial discrimination by the Met in this incident.
