Detective Jay Slater stumbles upon new Manchester Airport records

Former police detective Mark Williams-Thomas has criticized barrister Akhmed Yakoob, who is representing the recent incident at Manchester Airport.

Mark, known for investigating a number of high-profile missing person cases, previously worked for the family of 19-year-old Jay Slater, who was tragically found dead in a ravine in Tenerife earlier this month. after an extensive search.

Footage emerged from Manchester Airport at the weekend showing the violent chaos moments before a police officer was filmed apparently kicking a man in the head in a video that has gone viral.

Exclusive footage, obtained by the Manchester Evening News, shows the events leading up to the incident, which has sparked controversy and sparked protests since it emerged on social media. Footage previously shared appeared to show the officer kicking and punching a man in the head as he lay on the ground.

Now, new footage captures the chaotic and violent scenes between those involved in the incident and police officers leading up to this moment. At the start of the clip, a group of people can be seen gathered around a ticket machine inside a Terminal 2 car park, the Mirror reports.

Three police officers – one man and two women – are seen approaching a man in light blue who is facing the camera in the middle of a group of people. An officer appears to grab the man’s hands in an effort to detain him.

The male officer then appears to force the man upside down while his two female colleagues stand by him. Several people from the group then approach the scene.

In a social media post shared over the weekend, Mark slammed Akhmed, saying the two men were “definitely not the angels he portrayed them to be.” Alongside the newly released footage from Manchester Airport, Mark wrote: “New footage of the immediate events leading up to the incident at Manchester Airport which appears to show a police officer hitting a man in the head. You can see the violence of men against the police, including the attack on the female police officer.”

“Certainly not the angels their lawyer @Akhmedyakoob1 described them as. I would also add the words and expressions used by the lawyer are very concerning, they are in part very inflammatory and very unprofessional from a lawyer.”

In the newly released video, a man can be seen trying to free another man who had been restrained by grabbing a male officer. The situation escalates as punches are thrown between the officer and the man.

The man continues to throw punches at the officer, who is now on the ground. At the same time, the man in light blue, who was initially detained, manages to free himself from a female officer.

He then appears to throw several punches at the female officers, with footage showing both women being hit in the head and face. At one point, one of the female officers is knocked to the ground.

The male officer is then seen pointing the taser at the man who appeared to punch him. Another man then appears to attack this officer from behind, throwing several punches at him as he continues to hold the taser aloft.

The man wrestles the officer to the ground, before turning onto his stomach and lying face down. A woman appears to be kneeling beside him.

The officer then stands up and points the taser at the man. Then – as already seen in the widespread footage – he appears to kick and then hit his head as he lies on the ground.

The event sparked a series of demonstrations in our area. However, several public figures and those directly involved in the incident called for “calm”.

The Independent Office for Police Conduct announced on Friday night that a police officer is being investigated for assault, although this does not necessarily mean criminal charges will follow.

The watchdog confirmed that once its investigation is complete, a decision will be made on whether to refer the case to the Crown Prosecution Service.

Meanwhile, according to The Sun, there are still unanswered questions in Jay Slater’s case, including why Jay was navigating dangerous terrain alone. Investigations by Tenerife police are still ongoing.
