Attorney Anil Nandlall, who is representing the interests of the widow of the taxi driver found dead by police in the Suddie lockups last week, has written to the heads of the Police Complaints Authority, the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions and the Police Commissioner, requesting an inquest into his death.
The letters were sent to the offices yesterday.
