Teen's Bail Lapse Unnoticed Before Tragic Death
20 Jan
Summary
- Tyrique Jemaa's bail restrictions expired unnoticed two months prior to his death.
- Administrative oversights meant Tyrique and his family were unaware of the lapse.
- Tyrique was found dead after being caught with a phone at school.
A concerning inquest revealed that crucial bail restrictions on 15-year-old Tyrique Jemaa had lapsed two months before his tragic death. Tyrique, a talented young footballer, was arrested on June 30, 2023, and released on bail with conditions including not using electronic devices. His bail expired on October 1, 2023, but neither he nor his family were informed due to administrative oversights.
Despite the lapse, Tyrique and his family believed he was still under restrictions. Greater Manchester Police had notified Tuckers solicitors on November 15, well after the bail expired, but this information was not passed on. Tyrique was subsequently found dead at his home on December 20, after being discovered with a mobile phone at school earlier that day.
His school, Dixons Brooklands Academy, was also unaware of the bail lapse when they reported the phone incident to the police. Tyrique's family described him as an active, curious, and fun child with a natural talent for football. The ongoing inquest is examining the precise circumstances and the impact of the administrative errors.
