LISTEN:The BBC has been criticised for screening a new documentary about Chris Kaba two weeks after the officer who shot him dead in 2022 was cleared of a murder charge and had a £10,000 bounty put on his head.

Kaba's former gang, the notorious group known as '67' have placed an £10,000 bounty on his head and the officer has been forced into hiding.
