The family of Brazilian Jean Charles de Menezes today retraced the final journey he was making when he was mistakenly shot dead by anti-terror police in London.
The 27-year-old electrician's parents, Matozinhos Otone Da Silva and Maria Otone de Menezes, looked tearful as they arrived at the flat where their son lived in Tulse Hill, south London.
Accompanied by his brother Giovani and cousin Alex, they were shown the inside of the flat before walking along the route Mr de Menezes took to get his bus on July 22.
He was under surveillance by police until he reached Stockwell Tube Station, where he was shot seven times in the head by officers who mistakenly thought he was a suicide bomber.
Mr de Menezes's parents flew into Britain from Rio de Janeiro yesterday. They arrived demanding "justice", as more details emerged of the botched operation which led to his death.
It was reported yesterday that police chiefs knew an innocent man had been shot within hours of Mr de Menezes's death.
Scotland Yard sources told newspapers that officers became concerned as soon as they checked the identification in his wallet, and informed commanders of their doubts. The police did not admit they had shot an innocent man for more than 24 hours.
According to the Evening Standard, senior officers have also spoken of "utter confusion" during the operation to track Mr de Menezes, with a series of communications failures contributing to the tragedy.
Police teams were reportedly briefed earlier that morning - the day after the July 21st attempted suicide bombings - that they may well have to initiate the Metropolitan Police's shoot-to-kill policy if confronted by a terror suspect.
As well as visiting the tube station, the de Menezes family are also expected to hold talks tomorrow with the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) - which is investigating the killing.
Scotland Yard is paying the bill for flights and accommodation on the trip.
