The mother of Jean Charles de Menezes, who was wrongfully shot by police in 2005, advocates for viewing a new dramatization of his death. After being mistaken for a terrorist post-7/7 bombings, de Menezes faced tragic consequences. The series 'Suspect: The Shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes' highlights the investigation following these events. Maria de Menezes recalls her devastating reaction to learning of her son's death, which profoundly affected her. Despite the Met being fined for regulatory breaches, no individuals were prosecuted for the incident, leaving the family seeking justice and awareness through this series.
In my opinion, I think everyone should watch it. I was not expecting that moment, she said. It was terrible and then I started to shake. I sort of died then too.
Our thoughts remain with his family and we reiterate our apology to them.
Now, a drama, starring Line of Duty's Daniel Mays and Being Human's Russell Tovey, explores the days following the 7/7 bombings and police investigations leading up to Mr de Menezes' death.
No officers were ever prosecuted for the killing but the Met was fined for breaching health and safety laws.
