MENEZES FAMILY TAKE SHOOTING TO EUROPEAN COURT

The family of the innocent Brazilian man shot dead by London police in 2005 because they thought he was a suicide bomber, are taking their case to the European Court of Human Rights (Wednesday).

His relatives are challenging a UK Crown Prosecution Service decision not to prosecute anyone over his death.

Jean Charles de Menezes was shot at a London Underground station after police mistook him for a terrorist, in the aftermath of the 7/7 London bombings and the failed suicide bombings two weeks later.

Tom Swarbrick reports.
