UK cops will not be charged for subway killing

February 17, 2009

Following the 2005 London terror attacks, a Brazilian was mistakenly shot dead by the Uk police officers. As a result of the new review, prosecutors announced on Friday that UK cops will not be charged for the subway killing

Jean Charles de Menezes, 27-year-old was killed in a London subway car, just two weeks following the dreaded attack in which 52 commuters lost their lives in suicide bombings. According to prosecutor Stephen O’Doherty, sufficient evidence was not there pointing to the fact that the police had committed any offence. De Menezes was mistaken for a suicide bomber.

De Menezes resided in an apartment in the same building as Hussain Osman, a alleged suspect of the subway bombing who was later convicted in the failed July 21 attack. However, in their verdicts in December, the 10 jurors rejected many claims put forth by the police Mr. Stephenson London’s acting police chief said:

“De Menezes killing had been a “terrible mistake.” He was an innocent man and we must do and accept full responsibility for his death. The anti-terror squad set out with the intention to defend and protect the public and no one had set out to kill an innocent man on that day.”
