Man guilty of murdering Met Police sergeant

A man has been found guilty of murdering a Met Police sergeant by shooting him in the chest with an antique gun he had smuggled into a south London custody centre.

Sgt Matiu Ratana, 54, died of a chest wound after being hit by two bullets at Croydon's Windmill Road custody block on 25 September 2020.

Louis De Zoysa, 25 and from Surrey, had claimed diminished responsibility.

But a jury at Northampton Crown Court ruled he had acted deliberately. He will be sentenced on 27 July.
