Leeds student police officer, 21, takes his own life as family claim he was bullied by West Yorkshire Police colleagues

The family of a Leeds student say he tragically took his own life after experiencing "bullying and institutional racism" while on placement with West Yorkshire Police.

Leeds Trinity student Anugrah Abraham, 21, went missing on March 3 after having breakfast with his parents. He was found dead by a dog walker near woodland in Manchester, where he lived, the next day.

His family claim the treatment he received while on placement with West Yorkshire Police as part of his degree led to "severe stress and anxiety". In a statement they said: "Our family want to make clear that we feel that the harm Anu experienced at the hands of the police, killed him."
