TRANSPORT union TSSA has backed calls for a coroner’s inquest into the death of a transport worker from Covid-19 last year as a number of important questions remain unanswered.

Belly Mujinga died on April 5 just two weeks after she was allegedly coughed on by a customer at London’s Victoria station, in a case that grabbed national headlines.

A subsequent Panorama investigation raised serious questions about the inquiries into her death carried out by her employer Govia Thameslink Railway and the police.
