Belly Mujinga

ATTORNEY General Suella Braverman ignored calls today to reopen the case of railway worker Belly Mujinga, who died after being spat at by a man who claimed to have coronavirus. 

Ms Mujinga, a ticket office clerk, died of Covid-19 in hospital on April 5, 11 days after the attack on the Victoria station concourse. 

The British Transport Police said that, following “extensive inquiries,” it had determined that the attack did not lead to her death.
