Overview
- Greater Manchester Police allowed the three‑month bail to lapse on October 1, 2023 without notifying the family or school, though the force emailed Tyrique Jemaa’s solicitors on November 15.
- Tuckers’ North West managing partner said a lawyer failed to pass on the lapse notification to the family and acknowledged opportunities were missed, outlining procedural changes since.
- The coroner heard an inspector never authorised an extension despite indications police intended one, and an officer believed the extension had been granted in error.
- On December 20, 2023 the school confiscated a phone and said the incident would be reported as a bail breach, after which Tyrique was found dead at home; the medical cause was recorded as hanging by ligature.
- Detective Inspector Gary Kelly opened a special procedure inquiry and found the family had not been told; the school said daily searches would have ceased if it had been informed of the lapsed conditions, and the inquest noted Tyrique had not been charged.
