Wayne Fella Morrison was a 29-year-old Wiradjuri, Kokatha and Wirangu Aboriginal man who died in police custody while on remand in 2016. Wayne died from asphyxiation resulting from being made to wear a spithood. The exact circumstances of his death are still not known and his family, particularly his sister Latoya Aroha Rule, have been campaigning for justice for Fella non-stop.
Multiple South Australian prison officers restrained Wayne; cuffing him by his wrists and ankles, hooding him with a spithood, and carrying him face down to the floor of a prison van. There were 7 officers inside the van, and no CCTV inside. Wayne was pulled out “blue and unresponsive” roughly 3 minutes later.
Fella’s family want to see a total ban on spithoods implemented immediately across Australia.
