The mother of a man who was shot dead by police - which triggered last summer's riots in London - has called for justice as the family marks the first anniversary of his death.

Pam Duggan, whose son Mark was shot by Metropolitan Police officers as they swooped on a car he was travelling in, says she still does not know how he died.

She claims 31 police officers surrounded her son - and he was shot twice.

The police watchdog, the Independent Police Complaints Commission, is compiling a report that will be passed to a coroner in the autumn.

This evening a service will be held to mark a year since his death.

The event at Tottenham Town Hall comes after Mr Duggan's mother made a fresh plea for justice for the family.

Mrs Duggan said:

"We still don't have justice. I won't give up until I get justice for Mark.

"People need to be held to account for my son's death. There needs to be a full inquest, in front of a jury of ordinary men and women, to find out the truth."

The police watchdog the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) is compiling a report that will be passed to a coroner in the autumn.
