Judge Mark Lucract KC at the Old Bailey has ruled the firearms officer will be named on January 30.
Chris Kaba was fatally shot last year The police officer charged with murder following the shooting of Chris Kaba will be named publicly next year. Until now a court order has prevented the officer from being named publicly, and he’s been referred to in court reporting as NX121. From next January the officer’s name and date of birth will be made public, after the judge dismissed his attempts to have his name withheld from the public.
Mr Kaba died from a single gunshot wound to the head after he was hemmed in by a police vehicle. He was driving an Audi when he was followed by an unmarked police car with no lights or sirens. As he turned into a residential street, he was blocked by a marked police car and a firearms officer fired one shot through the windscreen and hit Mr Kaba. Got a story?
