LONDON (Reuters) - A British police officer was acquitted on Monday of the murder of a Black man he shot dead in London two years ago, an incident that led to large protests and anger among the capital's Black community.
Martyn Blake, 40, had pleaded not guilty to the murder of Chris Kaba, who was unarmed and died from a single gunshot to the head in the Streatham area of south London on Sept. 5, 2022.
