Judge rules details of Kaba’s criminal past can be reported after police officer who shot him was cleared of murder

Chris Kaba, the unarmed man killed by a police firearms officer, was pictured on CCTV shooting a man on a nightclub dancefloor and was alleged to be a core member of a London gang, it can be revealed.

A judge ruled on Tuesday that details of Kaba’s criminal past could be released, a day after a Metropolitan police officer, Martyn Blake, was cleared of murdering him.
