Chris Kaba, the unarmed man killed by a police firearms officer, was pictured on CCTV shooting a man on a nightclub dancefloor and was alleged to be a core member of a London gang, it can be revealed.
A judge ruled on Tuesday that details of Kaba’s criminal past could be released, a day after a Metropolitan police officer, Martyn Blake, was cleared of murdering him.
Kaba’s family had tried to prevent publication of the information. Details of Kaba’s past offending were not put before the jury in the murder trial at the Old Bailey because the judge, Mr Justice Goss, ruled they were not relevant.
Blake, at the point he pulled the trigger on 5 September 2022, did not know these details and did not know who was in the Audi Q8, which police believed was linked to a firearms incident the night before.
More details soon …
