Jurors retrace Menezes' final steps

The second day of the inquest into the death of the 27-year-old will focus on key locations involved in the ill-fated operation.

Officials will take the jury of six women and five men away from the Oval cricket ground inquest room. They will travel less than a mile to Stockwell Tube station where Mr de Menezes boarded a Northern Line train waiting at platform two.

It was there that he was shot by two firearms officers who mistook him for missing failed suicide bomber Hussain Osman.

Underground services will not stop at the platform during the visit, which is only expected to take a few minutes.

Coroner Sir Michael Wright is expected to address jurors as to the importance of each location as they travel.

Jurors will then travel to his former home, a low-rise block of flats in Scotia Road, Tulse Hill, south London. Surveillance officers mounted an operation there shortly after 6am on July 22, 2005, in the wake of the terrorist attacks of the previous day.

The jury will also visit New Scotland Yard and police stations in Leman Street, east London, and Nightingale Lane, south-west London.

On the first day of the 12-week inquest into Mr de Menezes's death, jurors were told firearms officers made a split second decision to kill him.

Sir Michael said the men were convinced he was a suicide bomber who could only be stopped by an "instant killing". He said the innocent Brazilian was shot at Stockwell Tube station even though no surveillance officer positively identified him as a terrorist.
