The BBC has been slammed for playing a Chris Kaba documentary at the same time a £10,000 bounty was revealed to remain on the head of the Met firearms officer who killed him.


Martyn Blake - who shot the gang member dead in 2022 in south London - has recently been acquitted of his murder after a three-hour deliberation by a jury at the Old Bailey.

However, at the same time as the trial's verdict and subsequent news of a bounty being placed on the acquitted officer's head, the BBC aired an episode of a documentary, discussing the police operation that led to Kaba's death two years ago.

During the programme, the leader of the investigation defended his choice that a murder inquiry must be launched, asking whether the police officer's actions were necessary.
