Chris Kaba shooting: Officer may escape misconduct hearing after rule change
A police marksman who shot Chris Kaba may no longer face misconduct proceedings after the government changed rules on judging officers' use of force. Sgt Martyn Blake shot Kaba in 2022; Blake was cleared of murder but faced a disciplinary hearing. The IOPC paused the hearing pending rule changes, which have now led them to believe the case should not proceed, sparking anger from Kaba's family and campaigners.
