Duggan Family: 'Mark Was Executed By Police'

The family of Mark Duggan has vowed to fight for justice in his name, saying the 29-year-old was "executed" by police.

Speaking outside London's Royal Courts of Justice, Mr Duggan's aunt Carole Duggan said: "The majority of people in this country know that Mark was executed. He was executed and we still believe that.

"We're going to fight until we have no breath in our body: for justice, for Mark, for his children, for all of those deaths in custody. We are not giving up. No justice, no peace."

Mr Duggan was shot dead by police in Tottenham in August 2011, sparking rioting in London that spread to other cities.

An inquest jury found today that Mr Duggan was unarmed when he was gunned down, but was lawfully killed.

The verdict led to angry scenes both inside and outside the court, as supporters of the Duggan family shouted abuse at the jurors and reportedly smashed a door.

Shouts of "no justice, no peace" could be heard as angry supporters walked outside the court following the verdict.

The family's solicitor Marcia Willis Stewart described the verdict as "a perverse judgment".

"The jury found that he had no gun in his hand and yet he was gunned down. For us that's an unlawful killing.

"The family are in a state of shock and we would ask that you respect their shock.

"They can't believe that this has been the outcome. No gun in his hand and yet he was killed."
