this is the fellow who told the media that Menezes wore a thick coat....when in fact he was wearing a blue denim jacket
'WHAT IS KNOWN: Earlier statements that Mr de Menezes was wearing a padded winter coat at the height of summer, thereby arousing police suspicions, continued to be repeated for several days even though he was, in fact, wearing a denim jacket.
The original suggestion that he was wearing a heavy fleece seems to have come from a witness on the train, Mark Whitby, but the Met never corrected this.

=======================
Now why would the police depend on him, when they KNEW Menezes was wearing a denim jacket?
Whitby and the police should be cross -examined to see why they lied and allowed this lie to be in the press for days.
