Ely riots anniversary: A timeline of events

It has been one year since the death of two teenagers in Cardiff sparked a riot which saw 15 officers hurt and 35 arrests made.

Disorder began on 22 May 2023 in Ely following speculation that Kyrees Sullivan, 16, and Harvey Evans, 15, were chased by police before they died in a crash.

South Wales Police insisted the teenagers were not chased, but later confirmed they had been following the two boys before their deaths.

Gross misconduct notices were served on the driver and passenger in the police van and the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) is still investigating.
