'We'll continue fight for justice'

The Brazilian's cousins and supporters held a minute's silence at Stockwell Tube Station where the 27-year-old electrician was shot by counter terrorist police exactly two-years ago. Mr de Menezes' four cousins have campaigned for someone to be held accountable for the shooting.

They stood in front of a makeshift shrine at the station, erected soon after the Brazilian was shot seven times at point-blank range on the underground on July 22 2005.

In the intervening years, it has been covered with pictures, drawings and words of support for the 27-year-old and supporters have left floral tributes and lit candles in his memory.

At the end of the brief ceremony Patricia Armani da Silva, 33, a cousin of Mr de Menezes who lived with him in south London broke down in tears and had to be consoled by a friend.

She said a few moments later: "We've come here in memory of my cousin. This moment is very difficult for us because we know at this moment nothing has been done for justice - we still wait for some kind of justice."

She added: "We will be here every single year until we get this case completed."

A huge image of the Brazilian, accompanied by the words "Two Years, No Justice", was beamed onto the Houses of Parliament on Friday.

The Metropolitan Police are facing trial under Health and Safety legislation in October, but the Crown Prosecution Service decided no individual should be prosecuted.

The case will examine how the force implemented the controversial Operation Kratos "Shoot-to-Kill" tactic to deal with potential suicide bombers. An inquest into Mr de Menezes' death has been put on hold until the legal action, which could take up to eight weeks, is concluded.
