Met officer who shot and killed drill rapper Chris Kaba charged with murder

a homicide investigation was launched by the Independent Office For Police Conduct (IOPC).“Our investigation team is continuing to gather and review a large amount of evidence, however as this is now a criminal investigation, we are limited in what further information we can provide,” the statement from the IOPC said.“The launch of a criminal investigation does not mean that criminal charges will necessarily follow.Now, CPS special crime division head, Rosemary Ainslie, revealed: “Following a thorough review of the evidence provided by the IOPC, the CPS has authorised a charge of murder against a Metropolitan police officer following the death of Chris Kaba.“The CPS reminds all concerned that criminal proceedings against the officer are active and that he has the right to a fair trial.”Kaba’s family joined protestors who took to the streets of London to demand justice.

Among the protesters was Stormzy, who addressed the crowd and said the “only reason” he was taking to the microphone was because he understood and felt that he should use the platform that his music career has given him to advocate for change..
