‘A failure for all those affected by police violence’
Campaigners outraged after cop who shot and killed Chris Kaba is cleared of murder

CAMPAIGNERS were left outraged today after the police marksman who shot and killed Chris Kaba was cleared of his murder.

Martyn Blake, 40, had been on trial at the Old Bailey in London since October 2 after shooting the 24-year-old black man through the front windscreen of his car in Streatham in 2022.

The jury deliberated for about three hours today to clear Mr Blake as the family of Mr Kaba listened to the verdict in silence.
