Police watchdog to investigate claims woman was raped in police custody

Zayna Iman claims she was drugged and raped in a police cell in February 2021

This has to be pretty shocking and with evidence as well that seems to back up her claim.

''Ms Iman's allegation is supported by her medical records which show evidence of sexual injuries.

She has also shared her concerns with former GMP chief superintendent Martin Harding, who has seen the available footage and the glaring inconsistencies with the custody log, and said her claims are credible.''

weird it has taken 2 years and the alleged victim having to make a lot of noise. Very strange situation with massive ramifications if true.

interview with her.

NSFW very traumatic.

I suspect if she was behaving the way I have seen in the cctv shown on sky news that someone would have been watching her constantly via the CCTV, known as level 3 observation.

I manage a large city centre custody suite and her claims to have drugged and raped whilst in her cell seem implausible to me based on years of experience.

I am curious to see how all of this pans out. Maybe it did happen as she states however I will be shocked if it did.

It’s also interesting how the independent mentions that she may have suffered a psychotic episode from having the date rape drug? Is there any forensic evidence to back this bold assertion of could it perhaps be linked to the use of cocaine given sky initially reported that the police were called to a concern for a woman who hat been using cocaine?

Is that actual evidence it was the police?

Statement from GMP re the footage

There are two one hour segments missing, one mid morning and one lunch time the following day, both times when the custody office would be busy



Having read a bit about this case it does seem that there are some concerns re welfare and custody procedures and around her fitness to be detained

I am not however convinced that her account of being drugged and raped within a modern custody cell block will bare up to scrutiny

She was clearly in a very distressed and psychotic state and I’d suggest should have been in a hospital environment not a custody suite

Most likely to least likely -

She was drugged and SA before her friend called for help

She took drugs and caused the injuries to her self

She was drugged and SA in Police Custody.

Either/or is horrific and I understand that she's looking for answers, just not sure it's in the right place.

It concerns me how many people have already condemned the Police despite there being no evidence to support her allegations.

Almost everything, apart from the corrupted footage has been explained.

Her initial complaint back on 2021 was that she was SA, you'd have thought the first investigation would have highlighted hours of missing footage.

How can you throw the police under the bus based on footage corrupting on a disc?

Because that footage must have been available when previously investigated.

And the lack of CCTV isn't evidence.

The problem is that doesn't tie up with the video of when she entered. Bleeding from both passages. The whole thing is very messed up.

That's not the case.

There's CCTV from when she enters Custody until 09:48 on 5/2. The footage then starts again at 11:00.

The next discrepancy is from 1am 6/2 to 2am 6/2.

Her claim is that she was SA on 5/2.
She claims the footage at 1am 6/2 is of her discovering her injuries.

So by her admission, she believes the SA took place between 09:48 05/02 and 01:00 06/02.

She doesn't give any details on what she was doing between 11:00 - 01:00. This is despite this footage being available.

So we're led to believe that the SA took place in a 1 hour wondow (just over). I wonder what her detention log says in the missing time, because she's not released that.

The cctv was recorded in one hour segments on discs

She was in custody for at least two days so that is 48 discs ( at least )

Two of the discs were corrupted when subsequently viewed

The first missing hour is on 5/2/21 from 1000-1059hrs

The 2nd missing hour is not as you state in the middle of the night it is on 6/2/21 between 1300-1359 hrs

I am not an IT expert, but in the modern world it seems extraordinary to me that any data would be corrupted, never mind two separate incidents. Happy to be corrected on this, but I can’t remember the last time I had corrupted data on any files

Don’t take cocaine and then these things won’t happen ( allegedly)
And don’t phone the Police after
I’m amazed at how people straight away want to assume the Police are the guilty party on the flimsiest of evidence.
Who the hell knows what happened but to leave it 2 yrs is in itself odd.

My times are taken from The Independent.

"At 1am on 6 February, Ms Iman appears to point at what look like bloodstains on a bench. Nearly 12 hours later, she’s completely naked and looks up at the camera, before the screen blanks again. The police have not shared footage of the next hour with her either."
