De Menezes inquest starts in London











The Brazilian electrician was shot at Stockwell Tube station in south London the day after the botched 21 July 2005 London suicide attacks.

Three of Mr de Menezes' cousins arrived at the inquest on Monday, flanked by members of the Justice 4 Jean campaign.

Alex and Alessandro Pereira and Patricia da Silva Armani made no comment as they entered the hearing. They and other relatives have campaigned for police officers involved in the shooting to be prosecuted. Also pictured are members of the families legal team.

The inquest is being held at the John Major conference room at the Oval Cricket Ground because of the scale of the proceedings and level of public interest.
