  2. Number 2: 3: Why I Pulled the Trigger

    Caroline Cheetham and George Odling are back with the very latest from The Trial of Officer Blake. In September of 2022, a 24-year-old, father-to-be, was shot through his car windscreen by a Metropolitan Police firearms officer. Chris Kaba died in hospital that night and Martyn Blake now stands trial for murder. The CPS’s decision to prosecute led to over 300 officers handing in their gun permits. In this episode we hear the words of Martyn Blake as he takes to the stand and defends his decision to fire the lethal shot.

  3. Number 3: 2: It's Never the Same as Living It

    In this episode Caroline and George hear evidence from the firearms officers who were on duty on the night of the shooting. One told the jury he almost fired the shot himself because he was in fear for his life as the Audi revved its engine. Another said Martyn Blake was not angry or frustrated as has been alleged by the prosecution, and another said there were concerns there might be a shotgun inside the car. The prosecution say Martyn Blake exaggerated the threat level and should not have fired the shot which hit Chris Kaba in the head.
