Chris Kaba was fatally shot by police last week - now, the IOPC have launched a homicide investigation.
A march in support of the family of Chris Kaba took place at the weekend, protesters gathering to demand justice for the 24-year-old shot dead by police on Tuesday last week. The Independent Office for Police Conduct has now launched a homicide investigation into the incident after his family called for a murder probe, asking the IOPC to ‘use all of its powers to make this an effective criminal investigation so the police are held to account.
Kaba’s family have accused the Met Police of racism, his father Propser Kaba telling BBC ‘For us, it is totally racist and criminal and we want all the community, especially the minority community, to see this as a racism case.’ ‘And I know it's a very difficult thing to say… But when these people do these things, they get away with it, because what happens is we do this once, we get tired, we tweet, we get tired, we do it for a week, we do it for two weeks, we do it for a month, and they know we get tired,’ he continued. ‘What they've done is they've killed someone. We can't sugar coat it.’
