Friends and family of young Albanian who sought asylum in Britain still have questions about what led to his death
Six months before he was found dead on the Bibby Stockholm barge, Leonard Farruku had hopes of building a new life in Britain.
“I’ve been in the UK since August 2022. Hopefully I can get my papers because now I’m in [a facility for] asylum seekers. I came on a rubber boat,” the young Albanian said in an Instagram message to an old primary school friend in Tirana, his home country’s capital.
