Romello McCook's parents said they were "ignored" in the British Transport Police investigation
He was hit by a train while walking along a track near the Laira depot in Plymouth at about 10:00 BST on 30 September 2018. The Independent Office for Police Conduct said in a report seen by the BBC that BTP's investigations into the family's allegation of racial discrimination "only touches on the allegation rather than actually examining it in any depth".Mr McCook told the BBC he was "100% convinced" that racism was a factor in the investigation."When they found his body, they thought he was up to no good - he did not fit the profile of a good character.
"We acknowledge that, despite extensive inquires to trace Romello's movements prior to accessing the railway lines, some questions remain unanswered."
