Chris Kaba was one of London’s most feared gangsters and the cop who shot him had a £10,000 bounty put on his head, it has been revealed after the judge lifted reporting restrictions. The Mail has the story.
Martyn Blake is having to live in hiding, fearing for his life and his family after a £10,000 reward was offered to anyone prepared to offer information on his whereabouts in order to kill him in revenge for the death of Mr. Kaba.
Now it can be revealed that Mr. Kaba was one of London’s most feared gangsters with a shocking history of violence.
Yesterday Sergeant Blake was dramatically cleared of murder after shooting the 24 year-old fleeing motorist to prevent him running over other officers.
But the full circumstances behind the case could not be revealed after Mr. Justice Goss imposed reporting restrictions on the trial.
The fatal shooting on September 5th 2022 happened after armed police started tailing the vehicle that Mr. Kaba was driving because the Audi Q8 had been used as a getaway car in a gang-related shooting the night before in Brixton, South London.
When police boxed in the vehicle in a residential street in Streatham, Mr. Kaba used the car as a “battering ram” revving back and forth in the high-powered Audi almost dragging the 10 officers surrounding him under the wheels before Sergeant Blake finally ended the rampage by shooting the driver.
This morning the Old Bailey judge finally lifted an order banning the media from disclosing Mr. Kaba’s involvement in multiple shootings across the capital.
Now it can be disclosed that the 24 year-old motorist was high on cocaine that night and still had gun residue on his sleeve and a balaclava in his car, providing “strong evidence” that Mr. Kaba had carried out the Brixton shooting the night before, Mr. Blake’s lawyer Patrick Gibbs, KC, said.
He was a leading member of the 67 gang, which police consider the most dangerous gang in South London.
Just six days before his death, Mr. Kaba brazenly gunned down a rival in the middle of a crowded nightclub during a bloody feud for control of a profitable county lines drug network.
In a shocking attack captured on CCTV, the gangster started blasting at Brandon Malutshi chasing him outside the Oval Space Club in Hackney, with one of the bullets hitting him in the leg.
So, the police officer was named back in March – putting his life in danger and forcing him into hiding – but the judge banned reporting on Kaba’s history, preventing the public having the full picture and allowing the family to portray the notorious gangster as an expectant father and aspiring architect with “so much potential” who had been trying to turn his life around.
This is obviously no way to keep the public safe or respect the personal risks that law enforcement officers take to protect us.
Sgt Blake’s ordeal isn’t over yet. It’s being reported that he may not be allowed back to work until next year as the Independent Office for Police Conduct considers a misconduct hearing. What planet are these people on? Planet BLM and keep-the-restive-mob-happy it seems.
Stop Press: It’s also being reported that Chris Kaba’s family tried to gag the press from reporting the full details of his violence and criminality “until a jury inquest into his death could be held”.
