LONDON—An inquest jury in London has said there were “significant and multiple failings” by the authorities which led to a murder suspect taking his own life in Belmarsh prison in January 2020, while awaiting trial.

Liridon Saliuka, 29, was found hanged in his cell at Belmarsh on Jan. 2, 2020, six months after he was first remanded in custody for the murder of a man at a snooker club in east London.
