THE family of a Brazilian electrician mistakenly shot dead by British anti-terrorist police last year has urged an appeal court to force prosecutors to charge the officers involved in his killing.

The family of Jean Charles de Menezes, who was shot dead by police on the London Underground last summer, said today that the decision not to charge any individual police officers over his death was “unbelievable”.

The family of Brazilian Jean Charles de Menezes tonight welcomed the inquiry into the conduct of Britain’s most senior police chief following the fatal shooting of their relative.

Lawyers for the family of Jean Charles de Menezes are today expected to be updated on the investigation into his fatal shooting by armed police.

The hunt for the would-be suicide bombers who tried to strike London intensified today after police named two of the suspected attackers.
