'Police were a shambolic mess'
Relatives of Jean Charles de Menezes said they found it "unbelievable" that Sir Ian Blair did not know on the day their cousin was shot that he was an innocent man. Demanding action, they branded the Metropolitan police service "not fit for purpose".
The IPCC's report made Assistant Commissioner Andy Hayman's position untenable and revealed that the force was a "shambolic mess", they said.
Solicitor Harriet Wistrich, who represents the family, told a press conference: "If he [Sir Ian] really, really didn't know until the next morning, it raises equally shocking questions about ... Read more

Security guard files raps vs M
A STATION commander of the Manila Police District is now in hot water after a security guard filed a string of charges against him for alleged brutality.
Charged with robbery, arbitrary detention and violation of the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices (RA 3019), the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees (RA 6713), and Miranda rights (RA 7438) was Supt. Jose Joya Asayo, chief of the Sampaloc Police Station.
The complaint was filed by Daniel Luis Tabinas, 30, of Sta. Mesa. He accused Asayo of mauling him inside the police station three weeks ago.
In his affidavit, Tabinas said Asayo had accused him of stealing a generator starter from the Technological Institute of the Philippines (TIP) campus in Quiapo where he worked as a security guard.
Tabinas said he considered Asayo, whose wife owned the security agency where he was employed, as his employer.
On Nov. 20, Tabinas said six policemen appeared at the TIP after the school lost its generator starter a few days before.
For questioning
The policemen brought him to the Sampaloc Police Station, where Asayo questioned him about the lost starter.
Tabinas said Asayo began threatening him to make him admit that he had stolen the generator starter. If he did not confess to the crime, he would suffer the same fate as the other thieves detained at the station, the police officer reportedly warned him, he added.
When Tabinas refused to give in to Asayo’s demands, the police official allegedly instructed his men to detain the victim.
“When I asked him to file the necessary charges against me first, Asayo began punching me in the chest and stomach,” Tabinas said in his complaint.
Asayo also allegedly hit him twice on the back with a nightstick, the security guard claimed, adding that an unidentified policeman also told the other detainees to maul him inside the cramped cell.
The security guard was freed the following day after his wife paid Asayo P7,000.
Apart from Asayo, also named respondents in the case were Alfredo Quilang and Napoleon Saccuan, operations and security officers, respectively, of the security agency; and Insp. Carlo Manuel of Sampaloc Police Station.
