<a href="/wiki/Tailor" title="Tailor">tailor</a> in Nigeria—headed to Leeds where there was a large textile and clothing industry.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAspden200843-10">[10]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAspden200842-11">[11]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAspden200844-12">[12]</a> In 1953, Oluwale was charged with disorderly conduct and assault following a dispute over the bill at the King Edward Hotel in Leeds City Centre. He served a 28-day sentence. While in prison, he reportedly suffered from hallucinations, possibly due to damage from a truncheon blow sustained during his arrest. He was subsequently transferred to Menston Asylum in Leeds (later known as <a href="/wiki/High_Royds_Hospital" title="High Royds Hospital">High Royds Hospital</a>, now closed), where he spent the next eight years. During this time, he was treated with a variety of techniques, including, allegedly, <a href="/wiki/Electroconvulsive_therapy" title="Electroconvulsive therapy">electroconvulsive therapy</a> and various medications, although hospital records have since been lost. After his release, Oluwale struggled to maintain both employment and stable housing, quickly becoming homeless. Friends described him as a shadow of his former self, noting that he had lost all confidence. As a Black immigrant in 1960s Britain, his options for lodging and employment were severely limited (the <a href="/wiki/Race_Relations_Act_1968" title="Race Relations Act 1968">Race Relations Act</a>, which prohibited discrimination in these areas, did not receive <a href="/wiki/Royal_assent" title="Royal assent">royal assent</a> until October 1968).<a href="#cite_note-13">[13]</a> During this period, he moved between <a href="/wiki/London" title="London">London</a> and <a href="/wiki/Sheffield" title="Sheffield">Sheffield</a> but primarily lived in Leeds. He frequently encountered trouble with the Leeds police, whom he accused of harassment. In late 1965, he was readmitted to High Royds Hospital, where he spent another two years. After his release, he once again found himself homeless and living on the streets.<a href="#cite_note-14">[14]</a> </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(2)"><h2 id="Death,_repercussions,_and_aftermath">Death, repercussions, and aftermath</h2> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Death_of_David_Oluwale&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Death, repercussions, and aftermath" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div><section class="mf-section-2 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-2"> The exact sequence of events leading to Oluwale's entry into the river—whether he was deliberately thrown, chased, or fell accidentally—has never been officially established.

The actions of these two officers are alleged to have contributed to Oluwale's death, although several other officers were also involved in harassing him during this period. During the subsequent inquiry and manslaughter/assault trial against Kitching and Ellerker, it was reported that they routinely beat Oluwale, often kicking him in the groin and, on one occasion, urinating on him. They frequently forced him to bow on his hands and knees, kicking his arms away so his head would hit the pavement—a practice they referred to as "penance." They also subjected him to verbal abuse, calling him a "lame darkie." On several occasions, they drove him out of Leeds in police vehicles, abandoning him on the outskirts in the early morning hours with the intention of forcing him to leave the city and not return. Despite this, Oluwale considered Leeds his home and made his way back each time. In the early hours of 17 April 1969, Kitching found Oluwale sleeping in a shop doorway and summoned Ellerker. Both officers then assaulted Oluwale with their truncheons. The last reported sighting of Oluwale was of him fleeing from the officers towards the <a href="/wiki/River_Aire" title="River Aire">River Aire</a>, where his body was discovered two weeks later. He was buried in a <a href="/wiki/Potter%27s_field" title="Potter's field">pauper's grave</a>, and no suspicious circumstances were noted in the official account of his death at the time.<figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Knostrop_Weir,_River_Aire_-_geograph.org.uk_-_828663.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/64/Knostrop_Weir%2C_River_Aire_-_geograph.org.uk_-_828663.jpg/250px-Knostrop_Weir%2C_River_Aire_-_geograph.org.uk_-_828663.jpg" decoding="async" width="250" height="167" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="640" data-file-height="427"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 250px;height: 167px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/64/Knostrop_Weir%2C_River_Aire_-_geograph.org.uk_-_828663.jpg/250px-Knostrop_Weir%2C_River_Aire_-_geograph.org.uk_-_828663.jpg" data-width="250" data-height="167" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/64/Knostrop_Weir%2C_River_Aire_-_geograph.org.uk_-_828663.jpg/375px-Knostrop_Weir%2C_River_Aire_-_geograph.org.uk_-_828663.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/64/Knostrop_Weir%2C_River_Aire_-_geograph.org.uk_-_828663.jpg/500px-Knostrop_Weir%2C_River_Aire_-_geograph.org.uk_-_828663.jpg 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </a><figcaption>Knostrop Weir</figcaption></figure> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Scotland_Yard_enquiry">Scotland Yard enquiry</h3> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Death_of_David_Oluwale&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Scotland Yard enquiry" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> In 1970, a young police cadet named Gary Galvin reported to a senior officer that he had heard gossip from colleagues about the severe way Kitching and Ellerker had treated Oluwale.

The trial attracted national media attention, but justice and civil rights campaigners condemned it as a <a href="/wiki/Whitewashing_(censorship)" class="mw-redirect" title="Whitewashing (censorship)">whitewash</a>. The proceedings presented a deliberately negative portrayal of Oluwale, depicting him as "a wild animal" and "a menace to society," while failing to call witnesses whose testimonies contradicted this narrative.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPhillips197218-23">[23]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAspden2008208-24">[24]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAspden2008219-25">[25]</a> During the trial, Judge <a href="/wiki/Raymond_Hinchcliffe" title="Raymond Hinchcliffe">Mr. Justice Hinchcliffe</a>—who at one point described Oluwale as "a dirty, filthy, violent vagrant"—directed the jury to acquit the defendants of <a href="/wiki/Manslaughter" title="Manslaughter">manslaughter</a>, <a href="/wiki/Perjury" title="Perjury">perjury</a>, and assaults occasioning <a href="/wiki/Grievous_bodily_harm" title="Grievous bodily harm">grievous bodily harm</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAspden2008199-26">[26]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAspden2008208-24">[24]</a><a href="#cite_note-27">[27]</a><a href="#cite_note-28">[28]</a> The jury did find the defendants guilty of four assaults that occurred between August 1968 and February 1969.

It was discovered that they had a particular interest in Oluwale, requesting to handle incidents involving him personally. They specifically targeted him in the early hours of the morning when he was often found sleeping in shop doorways. Furthermore, racist terms appeared in paperwork related to Oluwale, such as the use of the term "<a href="/wiki/Wog" title="Wog">wog</a>" in the nationality field. Despite this evidence of racism, the trial focused solely on <a href="/wiki/Police_brutality" title="Police brutality">police brutality</a> and did not address the issue of racism. Several witnesses described Oluwale as dangerous, and the trial judge echoed this characterization by referring to him as a "dirty, filthy, violent vagrant." This portrayal contrasted sharply with earlier witness statements, including those from <a href="/wiki/Yorkshire_Evening_Post" title="Yorkshire Evening Post">Yorkshire Evening Post</a> reporter Tony Harney, who had described Oluwale as unassuming and even cheerful. These statements were not included in the trial. On the directions of the judge, manslaughter charges were dropped during the trial. Ellerker was found guilty of three assaults against Oluwale and Kitching of two assaults. They were found not guilty of causing GBH. Ellerker was sentenced to three years in prison, and Kitching received 27 months. </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(3)"><h2 id="Cultural_legacy_and_memorials">Cultural legacy and memorials</h2> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Death_of_David_Oluwale&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Cultural legacy and memorials" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div><section class="mf-section-3 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-3"> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Hibiscus_Rising_Flickr_14_December_2023.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1e/Hibiscus_Rising_Flickr_14_December_2023.jpg/220px-Hibiscus_Rising_Flickr_14_December_2023.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="308" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="2384" data-file-height="3337"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 220px;height: 308px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1e/Hibiscus_Rising_Flickr_14_December_2023.jpg/220px-Hibiscus_Rising_Flickr_14_December_2023.jpg" data-width="220" data-height="308" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1e/Hibiscus_Rising_Flickr_14_December_2023.jpg/330px-Hibiscus_Rising_Flickr_14_December_2023.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1e/Hibiscus_Rising_Flickr_14_December_2023.jpg/440px-Hibiscus_Rising_Flickr_14_December_2023.jpg 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Hibiscus_Rising" title="Hibiscus Rising">Hibiscus Rising</a> by <a href="/wiki/Yinka_Shonibare" title="Yinka Shonibare">Yinka Shonibare</a> (2023)</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><video id="mwe_player_0" poster="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e2/Caryl_Philips_unveiling_a_Leeds_Civic_Trust_Blue_Plaque_to_David_Oluwale.webm/220px--Caryl_Philips_unveiling_a_Leeds_Civic_Trust_Blue_Plaque_to_David_Oluwale.webm.jpg" controls="" preload="none" data-mw-tmh="" class="mw-file-element" width="220" height="124" data-durationhint="17" data-mwtitle="Caryl_Philips_unveiling_a_Leeds_Civic_Trust_Blue_Plaque_to_David_Oluwale.webm" data-mwprovider="wikimediacommons" resource="/wiki/File:Caryl_Philips_unveiling_a_Leeds_Civic_Trust_Blue_Plaque_to_David_Oluwale.webm"><source src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/e/e2/Caryl_Philips_unveiling_a_Leeds_Civic_Trust_Blue_Plaque_to_David_Oluwale.webm/Caryl_Philips_unveiling_a_Leeds_Civic_Trust_Blue_Plaque_to_David_Oluwale.webm.480p.vp9.webm" type='video/webm;

As well as intensive coverage of the trial of Ellerker and Kitching in the local press, national newspapers took a close interest. Ron Phillips published a long article on the case in the monthly journal "Race Today" in January 1972. This reportage prompted the London-based artist Rasheed Araeen to construct his work "For Oluwale" between the years of 1972 and 1975. The writer Jeremy Sandford's play "Smiling David" was broadcast by the BBC in 1972 and published in 1974. The poet Linton Kwesi Johnson included the Oluwale case in his 1972 poem "night of the Head' and in 'Time Come', included in his 1979 album "Forces of Victory". In 1985, Rasheed Araeen produced an updated version of his artwork "For Oluwale" (source: Max Farrar (2018), 'David Oluwale: making his memory and debating his martyrdom', Chapter 9 in Quentin Outram and Keith Laybourn (eds) (2018) Secular Martyrdom in Britain and Ireland — From Peterloo to the Present, London: Palgrave.) Despite these efforts, the story was all but forgotten until police paperwork detailing the case was declassified under the <a href="/wiki/Thirty-year_rule" title="Thirty-year rule">thirty-year rule</a>. This was used by Kester Aspden to write the book Nationality: Wog, The Hounding of David Oluwale, published in 2007, which returned the story to the public eye.<a href="#cite_note-31">[31]</a><a href="#cite_note-yep-32">[32]</a><a href="#cite_note-33">[33]</a> In the same year, Caryl Phillips published "Foreigners – Three English Lives"; his third life (and death) was that of David Oluwale. At an event at Leeds Metropolitan University in 2008, Phillips, who had grown up in Leeds, suggested that there should be a memorial to David Oluwale in the city. This prompted the formation of a committee at the university which became the charity called the David Oluwale Memorial Association (DOMA) in 2012. The Remembering Oluwale anthology was published by DOMA in 2016 and its many varied entries cover "the issues that David endured: mental health distress, incarceration, police brutality, destitution and homelessness—all linked to his status as a migrant from Nigeria, a British citizen who happened to be black".
