Dad of three died after being hit by multiple police Taser strikes

A family has spoken of its trauma after a dad of three died after being hit 'multiple times' by a Taser fired by police. Sali Byberi, 29, died after he allegedly assaulted a police officer called to investigate a disturbance last month.

Body camera footage shows officers speaking to several people before the alleged assault by Sali, according to a report by police watchdogs. The officers then attempted to arrest him before footage shows him resisting.

Sali was then struck by a Taser several times by an officer, incapacitating him before he then becomes suddenly unwell. Despite paramedics being called Sali tragically died there at the scene in Braintree, Essex, very shortly later.
