Alina Joseph says death of son, Christopher Kapessa, 13, would have been treated more seriously if he had not been black
The mother of a 13-year-old boy who died after allegedly being pushed into a river has vowed to launch a private prosecution if the authorities continue to refuse to take action against the teenage suspect.
Alina Joseph, the mother of Christopher Kapessa, said she was certain that if her son had not been black, the police and Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) would have taken the case more seriously.
