Met Police: Officer in Court Charged With Six Counts of Rape
BBC 21 SEP 2023
Mr Kaba, 24, died after a police operation in Streatham Hill on 5 September 2022.
The police watchdog said the officer and Mr Kaba's family had been notified of the decision on Wednesday morning.
Mr Kaba, who was unarmed, was being followed by several police vehicles in Streatham Hill before he turned into Kirkstall Gardens, where he was blocked by a marked car.
He was struck by a single gunshot fired by a Met Police officer into the vehicle he was driving just before 23:00 BST and died in hospital in the early hours of the following morning, an inquest was told.
The construction worker was months away from becoming a father when he was shot.
His death prompted a number of protests, particularly among Londons' black communities.
Met Police: Officer in Court Charged With Six Counts of Rape
A Met Police officer has appeared in court charged with six counts of raping a woman, threatening to kill her and breaching a non-molestation order.
PC Cliff Mitchell, 23, appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court, which heard he held the woman at knifepoint. He was remanded into custody.
A member of the public saw a woman in distress on Tuesday, and helped her into her car, the court was told.
PC Mitchell is due to appear at Croydon Crown Court on 5 October.
The woman was found at about 13:50 BST in the street in Hackbridge, Sutton, south-west London.
An investigation was launched and the Met said it was established that its suspect was PC Mitchell, who was arrested. He was not on duty at the time.
PC Mitchell was at the end of his second year of a three-year apprenticeship with the Metropolitan Police, the court heard.
Deputy Assistant Commissioner Stuart Cundy described the allegations as "horrific"
The Met said a referral had been made to the police watchdog over the case and that the officer had been suspended from duty.
Speaking before the court hearing, Deputy Assistant Commissioner Stuart Cundy said: "These are horrific allegations and the victim is being supported by specially trained officers.
"The arrest of a serving police officer on suspicion of such serious offences is extremely concerning and I recognise will cause considerable concern among London's communities.
"This is an active investigation and inquiries continue at pace."
