It has come to light that Chris Kaba, the unarmed guy who was shot dead by a police officer, was a key figure in a London gang and was shown on camera killing a man on a nightclub dance floor.

A day after a Metropolitan police officer, Martyn Blake, was exonerated of Kaba's murder, a judge decided on Tuesday that information about his criminal history may be made public.

Kaba’s family had tried to prevent publication of the information. Details of Kaba’s past offending were not put before the jury in the murder trial at the Old Bailey because the judge, Mr Justice Goss, ruled they were not relevant.

Blake, at the point he pulled the trigger on 5 September 2022, did not know these details and did not know who was in the Audi Q8, which police believed was linked to a firearms incident the night before.
