A 16-year-old, Daryl McLune, receives a £130,000 payout from the Metropolitan Police after claiming he was wrongly arrested and held. The case follows allegations that he was detained for nearly 24 hours following an attempted murder arrest, during which he was reportedly handcuffed and kept in custody. McLune argues that the actions taken by officers amounted to false imprisonment and race discrimination. The underlying circumstances involve his mother, who is described as being suicidal and having thrown herself from a block of flats. According to the accounts provided, McLune was not where police believed him to be and was instead at his grandmother’s address. The settlement indicates McLune’s claims were resolved without the matter proceeding to a contested outcome in court, at least as reflected in the sources. The reports do not provide details on any disciplinary findings or on whether the arrest was later formally found to be unlawful by a court. The Metropolitan Police has not been described in the provided material as admitting wrongdoing, beyond the payment reflecting a resolution of the dispute.
