Vigils mark year of justice denied
Still no inquest after ‘spat-at’ rail worker died with Covid

by Bethany Rielly

BELLY MUJINGA’S family “still have no answers” a year after her death, supporters said today, as vigils were held in the rail worker’s memory.

Ms Mujinga, 47, died with Covid-19 on April 5 2020, two weeks after she was reportedly spat at by a white man while working as a ticket officer at central London’s Victoria Station.  

British Transport Police (BTP) interviewed a 57-year-old man over the incident but said that there was not enough evidence that a crime had taken place. Reviewing the case under public pressure, the Crown Prosecution Service concluded that there was insufficient evidence to bring homicide charges.
