'I Can't Breathe': The Mother Of An Aboriginal Man Who Died In Custody Wants Justice
Leetona Dungay took the stand just after lunch on the 15th and final day of the inquest into her son's death.
Leetona told the court about David: born in Kempsey in 1989, a"dearly loved boy" who started playing football when he was five years old. At the time of his death, David was serving nine and a half years in prison for robbery, attempted aggravated sexual intercourse, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
She paused and eyed the 13 lawyers in the courtroom, all representing various people involved in the inquest. "Screaming ‘I can’t breathe’ to his last gasp," she said."One minute my beautiful son was alive and the next he was dead."
