The trial of Met Police firearms officer Martyn Blake has begun at the Old Bailey today (Wednesday, October 2), where Blake, 41, is facing a jury over the fatal shooting of Chris Kaba in Streatham, South London, in September 2022. Blake denies the charge of murder.
Chris Kaba, 24, was shot once in the head while driving an Audi that did not belong to him.

The incident occurred after Kaba collided with a marked police car in Kirkstall Gardens. The officer, initially identified only as NX121, has now been named following an earlier ruling by the Recorder of London, Mark Lucraft KC, who stated there was no real or immediate threat to Blake’s life or his family.
