Boy, 16, dies after being 'beaten to a pulp' at London young offenders' institution

"His body had been beaten to a pulp, he was covered in scuff marks and bruises. We had to look at him through a glass window, we weren't allowed to say goodbye properly."

"He did have a heart condition but it is one that is very rare to die from. His mother is completely broken. She was originally told he had died in the prison but then later that it was in hospital."

"A source from the prison told the Mail that if the boy had been injured he should have been checked by staff every 15 minutes. They said: Heads may roll for this."

A 16-year-old inmate died at Feltham Young Offenders' Institution after being found unresponsive. Despite being taken to the hospital, he was pronounced dead two hours later. His girlfriend reported severe injuries, stating his body was 'beaten to a pulp' with numerous bruises. Although he had a rare heart condition, she did not believe it was the cause of death. The incident is under investigation, and concerns have been raised about the adequacy of care provided by prison staff, with potential accountability for negligence.
