Chris Kaba family to be shown police video of events that lead to his killing

IPOC watchdog insists review of evidence led it to investigate firearms officer for homicide

The family of Chris Kaba will be allowed to watch police video of the incident that led to his killing, the Guardian has learned, as the police watchdog insisted evidence and not public pressure led it to investigate an officer for homicide offences.

Kaba, 24, who was unarmed, was shot once by an officer from the Metropolitan police on 5 September. The bullet struck him in the head as he sat in the driver's seat of a car which had come under suspicion in Lambeth, south London. He died just over two hours later.
