Today, 23 July 2025, Chris Kaba should have been celebrating his 27th birthday with his loved ones. Instead, he was killed by Metropolitan police officer Martyn Blake on 5 September 2022.

To honour Chris, we’re sharing a very special episode of Unlawful Killing.

Originally recorded back in 2023, hosts Lucy Brisbane and Lee Lawrence spoke to Chris’ father, Prosper Kaba, about Chris' life, the impact of his death, and his family’s ongoing fight for justice.

This episode was previously removed due to legal proceedings, but today — on Chris’ birthday — we are bringing it back.

We share this episode in memory of Chris, and in solidarity with his family and all those still seeking justice.

Unlawful Killing is produced by Leila Hagmann and Naomi Oppenheim.
