Simmons, aged 41, was discovered hanging in his cell at HMP Swaleside on February 26, 2022, and passed away in hospital a week later.
The murder of 23-year-old Samir Draganovic shocked the community. Samir, a stranger to Simmons, was dragged from the platform at Knockholt railway station and killed with a machete as he was on his way home to Croydon.
