A Metropolitan Police firearms officer acquitted in the fatal shooting of 23-year-old Chris Kaba is unlikely to face further disciplinary action, according to multiple reports. Coverage from Sky News and other outlets says the outcome follows a legal change that affects whether misconduct or disciplinary proceedings can continue after an acquittal. The officer was tried over the killing in south London and was found not guilty of murder. Following the acquittal, newspapers report that no further misconduct investigation or disciplinary process is expected. Several sources cite the same basis for the decision: updated legislation removes or limits the grounds for pursuing certain disciplinary steps after a criminal outcome, meaning the case is unlikely to progress further through internal police procedures. While the reports focus on the lack of further action, they do not indicate any new criminal charges or separate civil proceedings. Overall, the articles agree that the combination of the acquittal and the subsequent change in the law is driving the current outcome.
