  • Summary

  • Follow the trial of Metropolitan firearms officer Martyn Blake, who was charged with the murder of Chris Kaba. Chris died from a single gunshot after being stopped by police in Streatham, south London, on Tuesday 5 September 2022. Martyn Blake, who was previously known only as NX121, was found not guilty to murder.

    In this final episode, reporters Ross Ryan and Adina Campbell assess the impact the Chris Kaba case has had and look at the impassioned debate the case has raised. They look at police accountability – and ask: How should the police be policed? They discuss the reaction amongst black communities. Finally, they talk about the Crown Prosecution Service, and the judicial system - asking: Should Martyn Blake have been put on trial for murder?
