Bark & Co Solicitors have successfully secured
the acquittal of Kevan Thakrar. Our client is a
serving prisoner having previously been
convicted of triple murder in 2009.
Kevan Thakrar was charged with 2 counts of
attempted murder and 3 counts of causing
grievous bodily harm with intent. All
allegations related to attacks on prison officers
in HMP Frankland, Durham.

3. Giving evidence, Kevan Thakrar
informed the jury that he suffers from
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
following an attack on him by officers
within the prison system. His defense
centered around the bullying and
racism that he has sustained whilst in
the prison system and that his actions
were in self defense.

4. The Solicitor instructed, Marie
Bourke, along with a dedicated defense
team from Bark & Co, sought and
succeeded in obtaining information which
severely undermined the prosecution case
and highlighted the torturous regime
which is alive within the prison system.
Great lengths were taken to secure
evidence from legal
professionals, professionals within the
medical field, as well serving prisoners.
