Carole Malone has launched a blistering attack on the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), following the announcement that Sergeant Martyn Blake - the officer cleared of murdering Chris Kaba - is now facing a gross misconduct hearing.Speaking in a video exclusively for GB News members, Malone did not hold back in her criticism. “So the appalling news today,” she began, “is that Sergeant Martyn Blake, who was cleared of murdering violent gangster Chris Kaba, is now to face a disciplinary misconduct hearing. In fact, it’s a gross misconduct hearing - which is even more serious.”Blake, who shot Kaba in September 2022 during a police operation in Streatham, South London, was found not guilty by a unanimous jury in under three hours. The court accepted that Blake believed his colleagues were in immediate danger when he opened fire. But now, despite the criminal acquittal, the IOPC is pursuing disciplinary action that could see Blake sacked from the Metropolitan Police.“This is appalling beyond belief,” Malone said, adding: “This man was doing his job.”
