'No charges' over de Menezes shooting

The Crown Prosecution Service has ruled out the possibility of bringing charges over the shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes.

The CPS will announce formally on Monday whether or not it will bring murder or manslaughter charges after a review of the circumstances surrounding the shooting on July 22.

It was reported earlier that Metropolitan Police Commander Cressida Dick, who was in charge of firearms operations, and two firearms officers could face manslaughter charges.

But according to the Guardian newspaper, no individual police officers involved will face prosecution.

The 27-year-old was shot seven times in the head by anti-terror officers at Stockwell tube station in south London after being mistaken for a suicide bomber.

However, Harriet Wistrich, solicitor for the de Menezes family, said the family was likely to be "very unhappy" if no officer was prosecuted.

She said: "They would like to see officers held to account on a personal level, for somebody to be charged with a homicide offence."

Me and my mum were discussing this today...it's shocking that the family aren't being compensated in any way IMO.

It's really a shame. How far can English justice go?
