“I’m Concerned My Colleagues Will Hesitate” Officer Charged With Murder Of Chris Kaba Named

The Metropolitan Police firearms officer accused of murder over the fatal shooting of Chris Kaba can now be named. Martyn Blake, 40, shot the 24-year-old once in the head through the windscreen of a car in Streatham, south London, in September 2022. The officer was initially identified only as NX121, but Recorder of London Mark Lucraft KC ruled that naming him, as is normal practice in criminal cases involving adult defendants, posed no real or immediate risk to his life or that of his family. His home address or any image or description of him cannot be published. TalkTV’s Ian Collins discusses the decision to name Blake with former armed response officer Harry Tangye.
