Two police officers abandoned a 15-year-old boy in freezing water after he leapt in to avoid getting arrested because he was scared he would get in trouble with his mother, an inquest heard.
Marcel Wochna’s body was found a day after the incident in November 2021, floating two-and-a-half miles upriver.
Winchester Coroners Court heard that police found Marcel trespassing on a boat and tried to handcuff the schoolboy, but he resisted and leapt into the river instead.
His friend, who was with Marcel at the time but cannot be named for legal reasons, said he had recently been grounded by his mother and was terrified of the trouble he would be in if he was arrested.
