Chris Kaba killing: IOPC investigation to examine whether race was a factor

Police watchdog says work will take until next year, drawing condemnation from family's lawyer

The investigation into the police shooting of an unarmed black man will examine whether race was a factor but will not conclude until next year, a watchdog has said.

The Independent Office for Police Conduct said it was in discussions with prosecutors about the investigation and expected it would commission expert analysis to work out what happened at the scene in south London before Chris Kaba was shot once in the head.
