Download The killing of Jean Charles de Menezes
On the 22 July 2005, unarmed Brazilian man Jean Charles de Menezes was shot dead by anti-terrorism police in London.
He was shot because he was mistaken for terrorist Hussain Osman who had been involved in a failed suicide attack just 24 hours previously. The killing made headlines all over the world, and Jean Charles’ family demanded justice.
Matt Pintus has been speaking to Jean Charles’ cousin and best friend, Patricia da Silva.
