The act's most controversial element, the offer of conditional immunity to suspects, was dropped following legal action by bereaved families.

But while claiming he was shy, bereaved or recovering from a bad break-up, McDonald was taking money from them to pay for things that never materialised - from cut-price luxury items to house deposits.

Groups representing bereaved families said they were horrified, adding it was “irrefutable evidence the NHS was overwhelmed”.

An activist earlier told the crowd they were not just gathering "for the Kaba family" but for all "grieving" families who they said were "bereaved at the hands of the state".
