Binfield had a short spell at another jail from 23 September 2022 to be nearer family, but, due to Covid and other health issues, Ms Hurren said she was unable to see him in person.He returned to Lowdham Grange in November, and asked to be re-categorised as a Category C prisoner so he could move to a different jail, but Ms Hurren said his request was refused.

He was "devastated" by the news, she added, and his mental health "deteriorated the most" at this point.Ms Hurren said she learned of his death on 7 March when a family liaison officer from Sodexo, which took over the prison from Serco on 16 February inShe said the liaison officer told the family Binfield had not left a note, but in January she learned through a report he had in fact left a message to his family, which also included funeral requests.

A redacted copy of the note has been issued to her solicitors, she said.Ms Hurren said she "felt like I was ignored" by Lowdham Grange when seeking help for her nephew, and was "so sad" to learn of the deaths of two other men - David Richards on 13 March and Rolandas Karbauskas on 25 March - weeks afterwards.

The court heard a post-mortem examination found Binfield died from hanging, and two strains of synthetic cannabinoids were found in his blood following a toxicology examination.

Stephen Morley, a consultant chemical pathologist, said the difficulties in detecting Spice due to the constantly changing nature of the chemicals meant he could not say how much Binfield had ingested or when he did so, but said he may have been under the influence of the drug when he died.Mallika, her older sister, agrees. "It's also to do with social media and being exposed to different people," she says. "You have new connections... contact with people outside our parents' eyes."

Even Ayesha, the oldest sister who is in a cousin marriage, said she doesn't imagine either of her two children will marry their cousins.At the time she married her cousin, she says, "I didn't know any different. My parents were strong in their culture. As the generations move on, the culture is disappearing a bit."

She was aware of the genetic risks when she had her two children. Neither of them have a genetic illness."We did take that on board," she says, on the topic of genetic health. "But I always feel like if it's going to happen, it's going to happen. If the child is going to be born with a disability then it will happen if you are married to a cousin or not."
