R v Thakrar - client acquitted - News - Bark & Co Solicitors - Specialist Fraud Firm

http://www.barkco.com/News/R+v+Thakrar+-+client+acquitted

Bark & Co Solicitors have successfully secured the acquittal of Kevan Thakrar. Our client is a serving prisoner having previously been convicted of triple murder in 2009.

Kevan Thakrar was charged with 2 counts of attempt murder and 3 counts of causing grievous bodily harm with intent. All allegations related to attacks on prison officers in HMP Frankland, Durham.

Giving evidence, Kevan Thakrar informed the jury that he suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder following an attack on him by officers within the prison system. His defence centred around the bullying and racism that he has sustained whilst in the prison system and that his actions were in self defence.

The Solicitor instructed, Marie Bourke, along with a dedicated defence team from Bark & Co, sought and succeeded in obtaining information which severely undermined the prosecution case and highlighted the torturous regime which is alive within the prison system. Great lengths were taken to secure evidence from legal professionals, professionals within the medical field, as well as serving prisoners.
