FAMILY OF DEAD ALBANIAN MIGRANT WANT ANSWERS
The family of a detained Albanian migrant say they want answers about how he died.
Alfred Dosku died in hospital in Redhill, Surrey, on 17 November 2023 after he was found by immigration centre staff, who attempted to resuscitate him.
A jury inquest at Horsham Coroner's Court, West Sussex, will be held into the death of the 37-year-old.
Mr Dosku's cousin, Ledisa Hysa Dosku, said: "We only want to know what happened.”
During a pre-inquest review, senior coroner Penelope Schofield said the inquest would explore issues surrounding his death.
Ms Hysa Dosku said her cousin was “very bright”, adding the family didn’t understand how he ended up at the immigration centre.
"The last talk with his brother, he felt when he spoke with him, he was ready to come back. He was ready to be united with his family,” she said.
She added that Mr Dosku's death was "completely not understandable".
Legal representation for the government and Serco were also present at the hearing, which set a further pre-inquest review for June.
Practice Plus Group, a healthcare provider which assessed Mr Dosku on his arrival at the facility and had staff involved in the resuscitation attempts, will also be invited to be represented at the inquest.
The inquest is being planned to take place by December this year on a date to be decided.
