Memorial for Oluwale
An appeal has been launched for a memorial in Leeds to David Oluwale, who was found dead in the River Aire in 1969. Two police officers were later prosecuted and convicted of assaulting him.
While in Leeds David was persecuted by two police officers, Sergeant Ken Kitching and Inspector Geoff Ellerker, who assaulted and abused him as often as they could.
