Firearms officer not guilty of murder

A police officer has been cleared of murdering a man he shot in the head in south London two years ago.

Martyn Blake, 40, shot Chris Kaba, who was unarmed, during a police vehicle stop in Streatham, south London, in September 2022.

The officer denied intending to kill the 24-year-old.

As the jury’s decision was read out the defendant took a deep breath, but otherwise did not react to the not guilty verdict.

During the trial at the Old Bailey, the court heard Mr Kaba was due to be a father.

He died from a single gunshot wound.
