The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) has announced it will refer the homicide investigation into the fatal Police shooting of Chris Kaba to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). This is an important step towards accountability. My thoughts are with Chris’s loved ones as they continue their journey towards justice. Throughout the investigation, the IOPC assured Chris Kaba’s family that they were passing on all relevant and appropriate evidence to the CPS. After months of agony, it’s absolutely vital that the CPS now makes a swift decision. Too many families have been left waiting for justice and with all eyes on the Met in the wake of the Casey Report, there’s no excuse for delay.
