The sister of a man who died in custody is suing the Victorian government, claiming that it is liable for the actions of a private provider of prison mental health services which she says failed to keep him safe from risks of self-harm.
Nazer Vukovic died by suicide in 2016 after two previous attempts. His family were not told about his other attempts until after he died.
