Protest marks Wheelock anniversary



HUNDREDS of people attended a protest yesterday to mark the second anniversary of the arrest and subsequent death of a 20-year-old man in garda custody. The Campaign for Justice for Terence Wheelock met at Sean McDermott Street church in Dublin at 1pm and then walked to Store Street garda station where they staged a peaceful protest.

Larry Wheelock again publicly called for an independent public inquiry into his brother's death.

"We have a lot of information that needs to be aired in an independent investigation. We have no closure, " he told those assembled.

Wheelock, from Summerhill, Dublin, was found unconscious in a cell at Store Street station in June 2005 after he apparently attempted to hang himself with a cord from his tracksuit bottoms. He was rushed to the Mater Hospital but never regained consciousness and died three-and-a-half months later. His family maintains the circumstances of his death were different and that he was mistreated while in a cell.
