Nottingham asylum seeker fell from balcony 'after taunts'

[Joshua Farrell]

A failed asylum seeker fell from the seventh floor of a Nottingham tower block after being taunted by a crowd of people, an inquest has heard.

Osman Rasul Mohammed, 27, an Iraqi Kurd, had been in Britain for almost 10 years when an application to stay in the country was rejected.

The inquest in Nottingham heard he climbed on to the railing of a balcony in a distressed state in 2010.

Coroner Maureen Casey said a "baying" crowd below called on him to jump.

I feel sorry for the guy's family. He has children that are citizens in Britain, so I hope that they will be able to get the comfort they need.
