The 24-year-old was said to have shot a rival in the legs at a nightclub six days before he died in September 2022, and would have stood trial for attempted murder had he survived.

He was also found to have gunshot residue on his sleeve and a balaclava in his pocket on the night he was killed by a police marksman, which it was suggested was evidence he had been involved in a second shooting the previous night.

Martyn Blake, 40, stood trial at the Old Bailey after shooting the 24-year-old through the front windscreen of an Audi Q8 in Streatham on September 5, 2022.

The jury deliberated for some three hours on Monday to clear Mr Blake who appeared to be briefly overcome with emotion as the verdict was returned.

He breathed out, puffed his cheeks and turned away in an apparent show of relief.

The family of Mr Kaba, who sat in the well of the court, sat in stony silence and made no immediate reaction.

The work will affect trains from October 21 through to October 25.

Dennis James will be 39-years-old next month, but for him, the past year has not been a cause for celebration.

It is a year which has seen him become unexpectedly homeless, temporarily jobless and struggling to manage fatherhood to his seven and eight-year-old children.

Dennis’s struggles with Croydon’s housing system after asking for help when his relationship broke down ultimately forced him to live in his car for months in the Whitgift car park.
