Sgt Matiu Ratana: Murder accused pointed gun at police officer, trial told
By Yasmin Rufo & Daniel SandfordBBC News
A man accused of murdering a Metropolitan Police officer by shooting him at a custody centre " pulled The Trigger On Purpose " his trial heard.
Louis De Zoysa, 25, denies killing Sgt Matiu Ratana , 54, by shooting him at the custody centre in Croydon, South London , on 25 September 2020.
Duncan Penny KC opened The Prosecution by saying: " Louis De Zoysa pulled The Trigger On Purpose four times".
He added Mr De Zoysa " injured himself with The Fourth shot".
Prosecutors allege Sgt Ratana, who was the on duty custody sergeant, was killed while Mr De Zoysa was handcuffed in a holding cell.
Mr Penny KC said: " The Prosecution say Louis De Zoysa pointed his gun at Sgt Ratana" and that he " pulled The Trigger On Purpose twice when he was pointing The Gun at Sgt Ratana".
" There is CCTV footage and other video of What Happened , " Mr Penny KC told jurors at Northampton Crown Court .
" The video and the audio shows Louis De Zoysa killing Matthew Ratana, " The Prosecutor said.
On the opening day of the case on Tuesday, The Court heard The Fourth shot hit Mr De Zoysa in The Neck , causing him to suffer brain damage.
As a result, he will be assisted by an intermediary during his trial and uses a whiteboard because of communication difficulties, the jurors were told.
" I Am going to be talking in short sentences and simple words, " Mr Penny KC told The Court on Wednesday. " This is so that Louis De Zoysa can understand what I Am saying. "
The Prosecution started their case by recounting The Events that led up to The Shooting .
It told The Jury that: " On Friday 25 September 2020, Louis de Zoysa was walking along London Road , in Norbury. "
He was stopped by The Police and searched by police officers on The Street and handcuffed, The Jury was told.
" The Police officers found that Louis De Zoysa was carrying cannabis and seven rounds of ammunition but The Police officers did not find that Louis De Zoysa was carrying a loaded revolver in a holster.
" The Gun and holster were probably concealed under one of his armpits, " The Court was told.
Mr De Zoysa was then taken to Croydon Police Station and put in a holding room, still handcuffed.
Jurors were told: " Louis De Zoysa kept The Gun hidden and was able to point The Gun at Sgt Ratana, " who was on duty.
" He deliberately shot Sgt Ratana, once to the chest, at very Close Range . He did not give A Warning . "
Mr De Zoysa, of Banstead, Surrey, pleaded Not Guilty to murder during a previous hearing at the same court in April.
The Trial continues.
