While the circumstances will be taken into account when determining whether it is in the public interest to prosecute, you will probably be interviewed under caution, your home may be declared a crime scene, and it can take months or even years of living with a jail sentence hanging over you for a decision to be taken. All of this at a time when you are probably in the midst of grief.
By Jon Blair Verified|GoonerVerifiedSo, what did you think when Priti Patel announced that asylum seekers would be given a one way ticket to Rwanda shining a whole new light on Arsenal’s “Visit Rwanda” sponsorship?
