Gatwick Airport

Fights and assaults on staff at Brook House immigration removal centre have increased more than five-fold, inspectors warned.

Harrison Tilson, of Old Town, Lambeth, had three glasses of champagne in the airport lounge before boarding and a further three glasses of red wine on board.

It comes almost a year after a 37-year-old Albanian man died after attempting suicide in November 2023 while he was being detained at Brook House.
