Kamel Bourgass
From WikiAlpha
Kamel Bourgass is an Algerian citizen, who was staying illegally in the United Kingdom, who killed Stephen Oake, a police officer who was trying to arrest him. Bourgass was arrested in 2002, and convicted in 2005. An issue that stirred controversy, during his trial, was that approximately 50,000 pounds was spent to pay his public defenders, and this was comparable to the amount of compensation offered to Oake's family for his death in the line of duty.
As he served his sentence prison authorities placed Bourgass in solitary confinement, for over seven years.
