Police apologise to shooting victim’s family

BRITISH police have apologised to the family of Mark Duggan for the “distress” caused to them in the wake of his death, and offered to meet with them.

Anger over a lack of contact with the family after Duggan’s death on Thursday was the starting point for the riots that have blighted London.

Duggan’s fiancee, however, has accused Scotland Yard of a cover-up.
