"Marcus Fakana, 19, was a passenger in a vehicle that crashed in Tottenham, north London, in the early hours of Friday. He was taken to hospital with serious injuries and later died. The Met Police said officers had attempted to stop a car but, after a brief chase, they lost sight of the vehicle and it was later found crashed."
"The Met said officers provided "immediate first aid" at the scene before paramedics arrived. "The passenger, a man aged 19, had significant injuries," the force said. "He was taken to hospital where, despite the best efforts of emergency services and medical staff, he died a short time later. "The driver, a man also aged 19, was arrested after the collision on suspicion of failure to stop and dangerous driving. He remains in police custody.""
"Radha Stirling, his lawyer and founder of the Detained in Dubai group, said: "He was grateful for the compassion shown to him by the British public, and his experiences gave him a renewed focus on Christianity and prayer. "Marcus was thankful to have regained his freedom and was looking forward to building a positive future.""
