When the body of David Oluwale was pulled out of the River Aire near Leeds in May 1969, nobody asked too many questions about the circumstances of his death. A year and a half later, rumours that the Nigerian man had been subject to a lengthy campaign of abuse from two police officers led to the opening of the grave and a criminal investigation.Subject: About the life and death of David Oluwale, a Nigerian who settled in Leeds in 1949 and was found drowned in the citys River Aire in 1969. The book reveals how his death was eventually uncovered via a criminal investigation as a racist crime in which two Leeds police officers mounted an eighteen month campaign of harassment against him.
