Another woman mysteriously commits ‘suicide’ in police custody
Before Sandra Bland and Kindra Chapman, there was Kimberlee Randle-King who allegedly committed suicide while in police custody
Social media has been on fire about the recent deaths of Bland and Champman, who families insist that there’s more to the story than what officers assert as suicide.
Before Kindra Chapman and Sandra Bland, there was Kimberlee Randle-King, who was accused by police of hanging herself with a T-shirt back on September 19th in a Pagedale jail cell, near St. Louis.
King died at a hospital, but friends and family are doubtful that there was any real attempt to save her. In fact, many are questioning whether Randle-King was murdered.
Kimberlee Randle-King, 21, was held on minor traffic warrants, and allegedly one related to a minor disturbance involving another woman when authorities say she took her life in a jail cell.
Similar to Bland’s and Chapman’s story police claim that she hung herself with a t-shirt in a Pagedale jail cell near St. Louis. Randle-King’s mother and other relatives reported that she was not suffering from any depression and that the holding cell she was in left little from for someone to hang themselves.
She also had no history of mental illness. The family is unaware of what video from the jail shows about the circumstances around Randle-King’s death.
