G4S guards charged with manslaughter
Angolan died after being restrained by trio

Prosecutors charged three G4S security guards with manslaughter yesterday over the death of Angolan national Jimmy Mubenga during an attempted deportation.

Mr Mubenga collapsed and died after being restrained by guards aboard a British Airways flight at Heathrow airport in 2010.

Colin Kaler, Terrence Hughes and Stuart Tribelnig, who worked for G4S Care and Justice Services UK Limited at the time of Mr Mubenga's death, were tasked with removing him.
