Suella Braverman has told LBC Met Firearms officer Martyn Blake should "never" have been charged with murder for the shooting of Chris Kaba.

The London police have shot dead a suspect for a terrorist attack, after he had wounded several people with a knife in the middle of a street in London.

Officers are currently at the scene on the High Road in Streatham, south London, the Telegraph reports.

A man shot dead by a police officer was a “core member” of a notorious gang who was accused of shooting a rival in the legs in a Hackney nightclub just weeks before he died.

The 24-year-old was said to have shot a rival in the legs at a nightclub six days before he died in September 2022, and would have stood trial for attempted murder had he survived.

Chris Kaba hugged his mother and set off from her home in Peckham, southeast London, shortly after 9pm on September 5, 2022. He said he was going to visit a friend and drove away in a blue Audi Q8. It would be the last time that Helen Lumuanganu, 53, saw her son alive.

The police marksman who shot Chris Kaba dead now has a "price on his head," according to reports.

Distrust, disbelief and frustration is palpable on the streets around Electric Avenue. Here in Brixton, the buzzing heart of south London, news is sinking in that a police officer has been cleared of murdering an unarmed Black man in the borough.

Police shooting victim Chris Kaba was a “core member” of one of London’s most dangerous gangs and would have stood trial for attempted murder over a nightclub shooting if he had not been killed, it can be now reported.
