The brief taste of freedom for a British teenager once jailed in Dubai has ended in tragedy. Nineteen-year-old Marcus Fakana, who was pardoned earlier this year after serving time in the Gulf state over a holiday romance, was killed in a late-night car crash in north London just three months after returning home.
His death has sparked fresh questions about how a young man who had survived an international ordeal could lose his life so soon after regaining his freedom and about the police pursuit that ended in disaster.
