5: Officer Blake: Not Guilty
Sgt Martyn Blake of the Metropolitan Police has been found Not Guilty of the murder of Chris Kaba. Join Caroline Cheetham and George Odling with the very latest from The Old Bailey as the jury reach their verdict in this historic case.
In September of 2022, a 24 year old was shot through his car windscreen by a Metropolitan Police firearms officer. Chris Kaba died in hospital that night and Martyn Blake was put on trial for his murder. The CPS’s decision to prosecute led to over 300 officers handing in their gun permits.
In this episode we chart the jury’s path to returning the not guilty verdict and speak to former Chief Crown Prosecutor Nazir Afzal, about how decisions to charge are made.
