Matt Ratana: service to be held for Met officer killed in line of duty

Memorial service on 29 November will take place more than a year after Ratana was shot dead at south London custody centre

A special memorial service for Metropolitan police sergeant Matiu Matt" Ratana, who was shot and killed on duty last year, will be held so police officers get the chance to say a final farewell to their colleague.

A memorial service is to be held on Monday 29 November, more than a year after Ratana was shot dead at a south London custody centre, in place of a usual full force funeral, which could not be held because of Covid-19 restrictions.
