ALT This is a significant development. From the outset I have been in close touch with the independent police watchdog, the IOPC, who said they would be thorough and go wherever the evidence took them. Their investigation has now resulted in the launch of a homicide investigation into Chris Kaba’s death. My heartfelt sympathies remain with Chris Kaba’s family, friends and loved ones, who are having to come to terms with a young life cut short. I fully understand the grave concerns and impact of Chris’ death on Black Londoners across our city and the anger, pain and fear it has caused–as well as the desire for justice and change. I appreciate that there are many unanswered questions and I want to reassure all of London’s communities that I will continue to push for these to be answered. MAYOR OF LONDON SADIQ KHAN
