The 11 officers directly involved in the fatal shooting of Mark Duggan “may” finally be interviewed by investigators, the head of the Metropolitan Police has said.
A year and two days after the incident in Ferry Lane, Tottenham Hale, Commissioner Bernard Hogan-Howe told the Evening Standard the officers could have “personal interviews” with investigators at the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC).
The announcement signals a breakthrough for the IPCC, which has been snubbed by the officers for a year, hampering its investigation.
They had previously only given statements and written answers to the IPCC, which expects to hand a report on the father-of-four’s death to north London coroner Andrew Walker this autumn.
Mr Hogan-Howe said there had been “trust issues” between the watchdog and his force meaning officers were unwilling to be directly questioned.
