Family's sorrow over brother who was shot dead outside Derby police station

The heartbroken family of a man who was shot by Derbyshire Police have spoken out for the first time of their shock and grief over his death. The sister of Marius Ciolac, Andreea Ciolac, 32, said she only learned about the circumstances of her brother's death from the news coverage.

Mr Ciolac, 35, was fatally injured by armed police after he was seen with a blade in the car park of Ascot Drive Police Station. The mum of two, who lives in Italy, has spoken in Romanian to Derbyshire Live, saying: "Marius was clearly in the wrong, he was not innocent.

"We heard that he had a knife on him. But why kill him? We only found out from the news later that his lawyer said he was having mental health issues."
