The mother of a schoolboy who was pushed in a river has accused the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and police of institutional racism over a failure to prosecute their main suspect. Christopher Kapessa, 13, was with a group of youngsters by the River Cynon, south Wales, when he entered the water and drowned. The body of the teenager, who could not swim, was found in the river on July 1, last year but police initially insisted it was a ‘tragic accident’ and there were no suspicious circumstances. His family have now been told there is ‘sufficient evidence’ to support prosecuting a young boy for manslaughter after he pushed the victim from behind into the river. However, the CPS said they will not bring charges against the suspect as he has a ‘good school record’ and is ‘mature and intelligent for his age’ with no prior convictions.

however, my view is as they determined he was definitely pushed by someone that someone should be charged with manslaughter

I haven't seen the letter but I suspect this statement will have been taken somewhat out of context.
