THE brother of a man killed by an unmarked police car has organised a vigil on what would have been his birthday.

It is taking place tomorrow night at the spot where Arthur Holscher-Ermert died on the A259 by Bramber Avenue in Peacehaven. It would have been Arthur’s 28th birthday.

Karl Holscher-Ermert, his older brother, said it would be a time for reflection.

The 30-year-old told The Argus: “It feels like the last day he will physically be on this earth, it’s his birthday. It’s something for everyone who knew him to gather, remember who he was and who he is until we finally get to lay him to rest. We don’t know when that will be.

“We don’t know when they will be releasing his body or anything.

“The vigil is at the site of the incident, it’s just a reflection to gather with him.

“I think it will be a similar amount of people as at the protest. We’re no closer to finding out why they have handled it the way they have from what we knew on the first day.

“The situation is an absolute farce but we’re there to remember Arthur and who he was.”

Arthur died on Saturday, April 30, after being hit by an unmarked BMW.

The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) confirmed that he had been driving an Audi which was being pursued by another police car. 

Police said the short chase ended in Bramber Avenue where Arthur left the Audi and was struck moments later by the second police vehicle, a black BMW, which had not been involved in the pursuit.

On Saturday, a week after Arthur’s death, Karl organised a protest outside Sussex Police HQ in Church Lane, Lewes.

He described it as a week of “torment, stress and utter frustration of what the police are doing”.

More than 100 people turned up to call for “justice for Arthur”, including his father Jens Ermert and cousin Kaspar Ermert, who flew over from Germany.

The vigil is taking place at Bramber Avenue tomorrow night at 7.30pm.
