BRIGHTON POLICE WITHHELD EVIDENCE THAT STAB VEST WAS UNMARKED
Sussex Police Professional Standards Department, (PSD), NOT TO BE TRUSTED.
Previous Justice Minister, David Lidington MP has evidence that the PSD and the IPCC acted
jointly in protecting the police by blocking a complaint, supported by Simon Kirby MP.
Note;- View the complaint on this link.
Statements relating to the attempted conviction of my 58yr old brother Alex who was taken ill.
C/I Laurence Taylor:-
"The accused lunged towards the police officer, sticking the tip of the blade into the officer's vest with some force"
PC Hollingdale standing next to D/C Cameron:- "I did not see suspect holding a knife so did not witness a stabbing"
C/I Mick Richards:- "PC Cameron was stabbed in the chest with a large kitchen knife.
The only thing preventing serious injury or death was the fact that he was wearing a protective vest"
(Police interview to a man who was supposed to be in hospital).
Superintendent Coates Police & Operations:- "I am satisfied that Alex never ever stabbed PC Cameron"
C/I David Miller:- "Clearly the stab vest saved him from some potentially quite serious injury as the knife went into his chest area"
The forensic report obtained nearly a year after the arrest showed the vest was completely unmarked
D/C Stewart Cameron:- "I used both my hands to palm the knife away from me. I believe I did this 6 times"
Dr. Read:- "I made an attempt to look for a knife, however I could see Mr. Coughtrey was holding a mobile phone"
D/C Stewart Cameron:- "My personal issue protective vest saved me from a potential serious if not fatal injury"
(Following a 6 month struggle we were allowed to view the vest. )
Defence Solicitor:- "We viewed PC Cameron's stab vest and not a mark could be found".
Alex, a 58yr old musician with no criminal record, is diverted from being taken to hospital by PC Cameron and taken instead to Brighton Police Station.
With no witness or forensic evidence to support his claim that he had been stabbed with a very large knife D/C Mick Richards gets to work and attempts to obtain a confession from a sick man.
We show a few of the 250 questions fired at Alex in a 40 minute interview.
He was then locked up for 6 weeks before finally receiving hospital treatment. 15 months later, with evidence that Alex held a small mobile phone and not a large kitchen knife, the CPS were forced to drop the case!! |

Statement Regarding Graham Bartlett
Office for Police Conduct, OPC a new name for a reformed IPCC unlikely to prevent corruption
www.brightonscandal.org.uk
HOME OFFICE ACKNOWLEDGE WE ARE A POLICE STATE.
Following the most outrageous case of police corruption this century the Home Office admit that we live in a police state. Michael Coughtrey an 81 year old pensioner tried to obtain justice when Brighton police attempted, with the support of the duty defence solicitor, to sentence his innocent brother to life imprisonment in order to give a police officer a bravery award and media hero status. The near death stabbing with a very large kitchen knife of Pc Cameron was proved to be a lie and after 15 months the case was dropped due to lack of evidence. The only way to bring the police officers who lied to justice was through a complaint to the IPCC. The Home Office and the Ministry for Justice are unable to intervene as the IPCC must be independent. The complaint was forwarded by the IPCC to the Sussex Police Professional Standards Dept. who spent 8 weeks on an investigation. Realising they could not defend their senior officers they requested a dispensation on the grounds that the complaint was 'out of time'. The IPCC blocked the complaint. The IPCC should not have blocked the complaint which was not out of time and which the IPCC Statutory Guidance clearly states that once an investigation has begun it cannot be blocked by a dispensation. The appeal was refused. The IPCC failed to take any interest in the complaint which contained evidence of serious police corruption. It follows from this that the police are able to act outside the law and we have a police state. While the Home Office admit to these failings and state that new legislation is expected to provide an improved complaints system innocent victims of the police are unprotected from imprisonment, death or injury and the police escape justice.

Brighton Argus Awakes, to the sudden realisation that all is not well with Sussex Police when the police handcuff, hood and shackle girl of 11. No support when the police lied that an officer had been stabbed in the chest with a large kitchen knife. A blind eye when the officers concerned were promoted after it was found the story to be untrue and was designed to convict an innocent mentally ill man. No police apology or interest from the Argus that the police officer concerned was promoted to the Anti-victimisation Unit.
Assistant Chief Constable Laurence Taylor Sussex Police who lied about a stabbing gets PC Scruby the sack.
It would appear that his following statement does not apply to himself.
"It is important to show that the force has the ability to fairly investigate its own staff".
Liar!! Graham Bartlett Independent Chair Brighton & Hove Local Safeguarding Adults Board.
Liar!! Superintendent Laurence Taylor Sussex Police.
Liar!! Chief Superintendent David Miller Surrey Police.
Liars!! Brighton Argus Brighton CPS Burchell Williams defence solicitors.
"He's my brother, he did not stab a police officer in the chest no matter what they said"
True life drama as pensioner proves Brighton police set up his brother in order to win a bravery award.
Full story section on how Alex was saved from a life sentence. All the evidence listed on our website.
Following the Hillsborough verdict public safety requires Simon Kirby to act now.
A 58 year old man with no previous convictions was locked up and denied medication for 6 weeks when a corrupt police officer, Stewart Cameron, in search of hero status claimed he was stabbed in the chest with a large kitchen knife. That man was my brother Alex who never recovered from his ordeal and now requires full time care. Simon Kirby to his credit tried to get the IPCC to act. As part of a cover-up involving senior police officers, the CPS, Sussex Professional Standards Department, and the Burchell Williams defence solicitor the IPCC referred the case back to Sussex Police where it was ruled 'out of time'. Graham Bartlett who at the time was Brightons Police Chief twice lied to Simon when he claimed the stabbing allegation was true took early retirement and now holds the post as Chairman of the Brighton & Hove Local Safeguarding Children Board. PC Stewart Cameron was promoted to DC Stewart Cameron and is part of the Brighton Safeguarding and Investigation Unit. Other senior police officers involved in the cover-up were also promoted. Simon Kirby MP has all the evidence regarding Alex's innocence when the prosecution was dropped at the trial due to 'lack of evidence'. Simon is also aware of a Police Superintendents investigation that concluded Alex did not hold the knife planted at the scene of the alleged crime. In view of the posts now held by Bartlett and Cameron public safety is at risk. We appeal to Simon to act now and seek an enquiry into the cover-up and the criminal actions of those involved.

Sussex Police Commissioner on £75,000 pa claims the equivalent of her 9 full-time staff

Hard pressed Sussex taxpayers have been fooled once again.
SIMON KIRBY MP supported Katy Bourne. 'The powerful new local figure will replace the existing Police Authority' 12/12/12
Brighton & Hove City Council (website) Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner election.
'The Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner will replace the Sussex Police Authority'
East Sussex Council - 'The Police and Crime Commissioner will replace the Sussex Police Authority'.
Brighton & Hove News. 'Police and Crime Commissioner will replace Sussex Police Authority'.
Brighton Argus. Tim Ridgway article on eve of election. 'new system will replace police authority'.
Horsham District Council (website). 'The Susssex Police & Crime Commissioner will replace the Sussex Police Authority'.
How many voters believed Katy Bourne's election slogan 'Ensuring we are all safer in Sussex'?
We forwarded details of Alex's suffering at the hands of the police and put the following question to the Commissioner.
'What steps, if any, do you intend to take to ensure the vulnerable are safer in Sussex'?
The answer we have received is that this is the responsibility of the Chief Constable.
So much for the Commissioners self proclaimed integrity and fairness.
An opt out clause giving the green light to continue fabricating evidence.
Imagine the position you would find yourself in if you became ill and the police were called to take you to hospital.
You would not expect to end up in a prison cell accused of knifing a police officer in the chest with an 8inch blade.
That was the information given to our 58 year old brother Alex by senior officers who were nowhere near him when he was taken from his flat.
It does not require a great deal of imagination to picture the treatment Alex received from the police for harming one of their officers.
So there you are, seriously ill and not eating with no a hope of proving you are innocent.
The duty solicitor, Burchell Williams, forced on you will immediately inform you that they consider you will be found guilty.
The Argus will print pages on how a brave police officer nearly died after being stabbed in the chest.
You manage to survive for 6 weeks before being transferred to hospital.
If you are lucky enough to have family support and they are able to use their pension to rescue you,
then, after 15 months, you may find that the charges are dropped through lack of evidence.
They will of course have to fight Brighton CPS in order to get a forensic report on the police officers uniform.
Not easy as Brighton CPS are aware that there is not a mark on it.
We have informed just about everyone in authority about this case and it is a complete cover-up.
You will find the details relating to this story on our websites and I am available at mjcoughtrey@gmail.com.
