...because the others appear to have omitted a rather salient point.
An attempted shoplifter who was held face down at a branch of Sainsbury's for more than 30 minutes died of injuries sustained during his detention, an inquest heard. Mr Paskauskas was threatening and aggressive, and his behaviour was worsened because he had consumed alcohol, he was confused about what was happening and there was a language barrier.
It will be interesting to see if the police now charge anyone. Because they have in other cases, as we've seen.
A jury which considered the evidence during the inquest last week reached a conclusion of death by misadventure.
Because they don't have a 'death by drunken criminality' verdict, I suppose.
A Sainsbury’s spokesperson said: “We supported the police and coroner on this matter and acknowledge that this case has now concluded. Our thoughts are with Mr Paskauskas’ friends and family.”
Let's hope they are also with your traumatised staff as much as with the family of a habitual foreign criminal.
