Mother of Jean Charles de Menezes says ‘everyone should watch’ TV drama

THE mother of Jean Charles de Menezes has said “everyone should watch” a new dramatisation of her son’s killing.

Mr de Menezes was shot seven times by two police marksmen in Stockwell London Underground station on July 22 2005 after being mistaken for a terrorist.

Now, a drama, starring Line of Duty’s Daniel Mays and Being Human’s Russell Tovey, explores the days following the July 7 bombings and police investigations leading up to his death.
