Call for inquiry into garda cell death

THE Labour Party backed calls yesterday for an independent inquiry into the death of a young man found hanging in a garda cell.

Terence Wheelock, 20, died last Friday, three months after he tried to hang himself in a Dublin city centre station.

The Wheelock family, from Summerhill in Dublin’s north inner city, claim Terence sustained injuries while in custody and are demanding an independent inquiry.
