The heartbroken mum of a former soldier who was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder when he died after an incident which saw him Tasered by police has told of how she will "never find closure" after being left unsatisfied by the outcome of an inquest into his death.
Margaret Beynon has opened up on her thoughts about the hearing which examined the circumstances behind the death of her son Spencer Beynon, near his home in Llanelli in 2016, after officers had been called to reports of a man in distress. The inquest heard how police arrived at the 43-year-old's address at Maes y Bwlch and found him covered in blood - as he had slashed himself in the neck with a broken bottle. Mr Beynon, who served in Iraq and Afghanistan before being discharged after suffering PTSD, had moved towards an officer - which was perceived as a threat. He was then Tasered by former PC Oliver West, WalesOnline reports.
His inquest concluded that he died as result of misadventure. Following the end of the coroner-led probe, The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) also published details about its investigation into Mr Beynon's death - saying it found no case to answer for misconduct against any Dyfed-Powys Police officer in relation to their interaction with Mr Beynon.
