Police officers praise Chris Kaba ruling as officer cleared of murder | LBC
The Met police marksman who fatally shot Chris Kaba has been cleared of his murder.
Martyn Blake, 40, stood trial at the Old Bailey after shooting the 24-year-old through the front windscreen of an Audi Q8 in Streatham, south-east London, on September 5 2022.
The car had been used as a getaway vehicle in a shooting the previous evening, and was hemmed in by police cars in Kirkstall Gardens after an officer recognised its registration number.
Mr Kaba drove backwards and forwards trying to ram his way free, which Mr Blake told jurors made him believe one of his colleagues was about to die, and so he opened fire to stop the car.
Former Met Deputy Assistant Commissioner Stephen Roberts and retired firearms response sergeant Harry Tangye give their thoughts to Tom Swarbrick.
