2.8 The definition also covers following situations: a. Deaths that occur when being arrested by the police; b. Deaths that occur in police custody; and c. Deaths that occur when detaineesare on their way to the hospital or any medical premises and at the hospital or any medical premises to get the treatment while still in police custody. 2.9 However, the deaths of detainees that occur after the detainees were transferred under supervision by different agencies or authorities are excluded from the definition of deaths in police custody. 2.10 Whereas Crown Prosecution Service (CPS)53 indicates the definition of deaths in police custody only applies on deaths that occur in police detention. Deaths in road accidents whenever a person is in the police car and on his way to the police station is not considered as deaths in police custody.54 2.11 Deaths excluded under above definition are defined as ‘death following contact with the Police’. Among examples of death following contact with the police are deaths of detainees who are released by the police without sufficient treatment on their illness and then died due to the failure of getting the treatment or detainees who suffer a fatal heart attack while escaping from a police officer who is trying to arrest them. 2.12 Thus, for this purpose of the research, the definition of ‘deaths in police custody’ refers to the death which occurs during police arrest; the death in detention by the police; and the death when one died on his way to get the treatment at medical premises or the death at medical premises for cases which require ward admission while still in police custody. 53 The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) is the principal prosecuting authority for England and Wales, acting independently in criminal cases investigated by the police and others. 54 http://www.cps.gov.uk/legal/d_to_g/deaths_in_custody/ (Accessed on 24 March 2016). 22
