'No warning' before police shot De Menezes
A detective who held Jean Charles de Menezes down as he was shot by police yesterday told how his colleagues almost killed him. The surveillance officer, known as Ivor, told the inquest into the Brazilian's death that he feared De Menezes was about to explode a bomb. De Menezes was killed on the London underground on July 22, 2005, a day after suicide bombers struck. Giving evidence from behind a screen, Ivor said at one stage a gun appeared to be levelled at him. He did not hear any police officer shout a direct verbal warning or challenge at De Menezes before he was shot. The inquest continues.
