A senior firearms officer who shot dead a man wrongly suspected of being a terrorist 19 years ago is to speak publicly for the first time in a new documentary.
Jean Charles de Menezes, 27, was pinned down and shot in the head by officers in Stockwell station in south London on 22 July 2005, following the 7 July bombings.
The police marksman is to appear on Channel 4’s Shoot To Kill: Terror On The Tube after remaining anonymous since the killing.
Alisa Pomeroy, head of documentaries at the channel, said she hoped his personal testimony would “help the British public understand… what became one of the biggest crises in British policing history”.
