"The Met was also criticised yesterday after it confirmed to a tabloid newspaper that it had received an allegation from a woman who claimed that she had been raped by Charles de Menezes, the man shot dead at Stockwell tube station after being mistaken for a terrorist. Mr de Menezes's cousin, Allessandro Pereira, said: "The family are furious at the latest attempt to smear the name of Jean Charles de Menezes to draw attention away from the truth about his brutal death at the hands of police officers on 22 July 2005.""
Do names like TJ Hickey, Edison Berrio, Angelo Tsakos, etc, etc
ring a bell?
Maybe its time to push for a law preventing police from publicising the records of their victims - especially when the deceased has never been charged with (much less convicted of) the alleged offences.
