Glasgow mum of daughter who died in custody blasts 'lies and insults'

The mum of tragic Glasgow woman, Katie Allan, who died in custody has blasted prosecutors and prison officers for "lies, insults and disdain".

A joint fatal accident inquiry was announced last week into the deaths of Katie and teenager William Lindsay, who both took their lives within months of each other in 2018 at Polmont Young Offenders Institution. Katie was 21 and William just 16.

Katie's mum, Linda, questions why there has been no criminal prosecutions despite evidence of neglect and care failures, reports the Sunday Mail.
