THE MOTHER of a student who died after a racist attack will today meet the chair of the spycops inquiry to seek answers about an officer who spied on her family.

Sukhdev Reel will speak with John Mitting at the House of Commons to push for more details about undercover operative David Hagan, known as HN81.

Hagan spied on the justice campaign set up after her son Ricky died following a night out in Kingston in October 1997.
