Cops beat Brit Lee Brown to death in Dubai cell

Lee Brown, 39 - arrested after a hotel row - was stripped and handcuffed before being pulverised by up to six officers with their feet, fists and batons. He was then dragged unconscious into solitary confinement where he was left battered and bloodied for three days before dying of his injuries.

One prisoner at the Bur Dubai police station - who The Sun contacted by mobile phone - said last night: "It was inhuman. He was cuffed by his hands and his legs. Officers were punching and kicking him everywhere. He was bleeding from the head and hands and crying, pleading for them to stop." Another witness said: "He was assaulted so badly his head split open. Then he was left to rot."

Lee's horrific punishment was revealed after two inmates at the police station phoned his family on Tuesday and begged them to help him. They had got his contact details from his passport.
