Chris Kaba murder: Met Police firearms officer named

The police marksman charged with murdering Chris Kaba can be named for the first time after a judge lifted an anonymity order.

Metropolitan Police firearms officer Martyn Blake, 40, is facing trial later this year over the fatal shooting of the 24-year-old in Streatham Hill, in 2022.

He was charged with murder in September last year, but has until now been known as NX121 because his identity was protected by an anonymity order.

He has pleaded not guilty.
