Jermaine Baker killing: police officer can face misconduct hearing

Court of appeal issues ruling over firearms officer who shot and killed 28-year-old in 2015

A firearms officer who killed Jermaine Baker during a foiled prison breakout can face misconduct proceedings, the court of appeal has ruled following a challenge by the police watchdog.

Baker, 28, of Tottenham in north London, was shot during a Metropolitan police operation that thwarted a plot to snatch two prisoners from a van near Wood Green crown court, also in north London, in December 2015.
