On 20 October 2025 a jury in the Bedfordshire and Luton Coroner’s Court returned a narrative conclusion that Melvin Grant intended his life to end in his prison cell at HMP Bedford on 14 November 2023, and that the decision to downgrade his observation levels from constant to intermittent probably contributed to his death.
Melvin’s family are represented by Joanna Khan of Bhatt Murphy and Abimbola Johnson of Doughty Street Chambers.
