THE family of Mark Duggan, whose fatal shooting by police in 2011 sparked riots across Britain, urged leading judges yesterday to overturn an inquest jury’s conclusion that he was lawfully killed.

Mr Duggan was shot by a firearms officer known as V53 in Tottenham, north London, who was part of a specialist team that believed he was planning an attack and had collected a handgun.

The jury decided in January 2014 that the 29-year-old was lawfully killed by a police marksman, despite deciding that he was unarmed at the time he was shot.
