In a twist worthy of 007 himself, cyber hackers managed to steal and leak an early draft of the film's script yesterday.

The four-year road from the death of Jimmy Mubenga on a deportation flight to the trial that saw three security guards cleared of his manslaughter.

Along with his wife Adrienne Makenda Kambana, Jimmy Mubenga lived in Ilford, east London, after arriving in the UK in 1994. He spent 16 years in the UK and was on a flight from Heathrow Airport in October 2010 when he died.

The decision two years later not to prosecute anyone over the death of the 46-year-old Angolan Jimmy Mubenga caused outrage among family and campaigners.

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) was forced to reconsider bringing charges against Terrence Hughes, Colin Kaler and Stuart Tribelnig in the wake of an inquest last year.

A Home Office spokesman has said: "Any death is a tragedy for those involved and our thoughts are with Jimmy Mubenga's family.

The spokesman added: "We expect the highest standards of professionalism and conduct from our staff and contractors.

"Our policy has always been that restraint during removals should only be used as a last resort. Our new bespoke training package for aircraft removals, approved in June this year, will better equip our staff with practical tools to minimise the need for restraint and ensure that only the most appropriate techniques are used."

G4S has reacted to the clearing of its former employees over the death of Jimmy Mubenga.

A spokesman said: "Providing a safe and caring environment for those in our custody or care is a priority for G4S. The death of Mr Mubenga was a tragic incident and our thoughts and condolences remain with his family and friends.

"We note the criminal case which has been under way at the Old Bailey in relation to Mr Mubenga's death and three former employees. We respect the legal process and the findings of the court."

The CPS has reacted to the clearing of G4S guards over Jimmy Mubenga's death.

A spokesperson said: "This was a difficult case which involved very serious allegations. We considered that there was sufficient evidence and that it was in the public interest for a jury to determine the question of guilt or innocence.

"In this case, the jury has carefully deliberated all the evidence and we respect the verdicts they have reached in acquitting the three men."

The headlines on BBC London 94.9 this hour include:

• Three security guards, from the firm G4S, have been cleared of the manslaughter of an Angolan man who died after they restrained him on a plane at Heathrow Airport.

• A man stabbed to death outside his home on the Broadway in Edmonton on Sunday evening has been named as Jack Barry.

Adrienne Mubenga has said she believed the airline crew should have stepped in before her husband died.

"[The crew] should have saved Jimmy's life. Someone was crying, was begging them 'I'm dying. I'm dying, do something'.

"Now they're coming to me with 'sorry'. What can I do with 'sorry'? Nothing. He was begging them for help and nobody helped."
