Firearms smuggled into police stations despité Matt's murder
GUNS continued to be smuggled into police stations long after officer Matt Ratana was shot dead by a prisoner who was not properly searched.
Despite warnings 18 months before the murder that metaldetecting wands should be fitted to all police vans, deadly weapons still made it into Metropolitan Police custody centres.
The revolver Louis De Zoysa used to kill Sgt Ratana in 2020 was one of four guns smuggled in in under three years - plus two more since, our investigation found.
