Metropolitan Police officer Martyn Blake has been acquitted of the murder of Chris Kaba, who was fatally shot in Streatham, south-east London, on 5 September 2022.

The 40-year-old officer discharged his weapon at the 24 year old through the Audi Q8's windscreen after recognising the car as one involved in a previous shooting incident.The vehicle was cornered by police in Kirkstall Gardens following its registration being spotted.

The operation included a helicopter and six police vehicles.Kaba was aware he was being pursued, as evidenced by him telling his friend Elisha Fizul: "Lish, one sec, I think there is police behind me."Courtroom footage showed armed officers yelling commands such as "go, go, go" and "armed police, get out of the f***ing car," while encircling the Audi.

As Kaba manoeuvred the car back and forth in an attempt to escape, Blake testified that he feared for a colleague's life, prompting him to shoot to immobilise the vehicle, reports the Mirror.
