The prime suspect in the fatal shooting of a police officer is still too ill to be questioned by detectives more than six months later.
Louis De Zoysa, 23, allegedly shot Matt Ratana, 54, in the chest while handcuffed at Croydon Custody Centre, south London, on September 25 last year.
Sergeant Ratana died after being shot in the heart at 2.15am as he was preparing to search the suspect who had been arrested on suspicion of intent to supply drugs and possession of ammunition.
The 23-year-old, of Norbury, south London, was also hit in the neck by a bullet and was left critically ill and partially paralysed.

FOUR more police officers have been served with misconduct notices amid a continuing probe of a young man’s death hours after his release from custody.
The Independent Office of Police Conduct (IOPC), which is investigating South Wales Police over the death of Mohamud Hassan in January, said that it had opened investigations into three police officers and one custody detention officer.
Mr Hassan was arrested at his home in Cardiff on suspicion of breach of the peace and held overnight. He was released without charge the next day and died later that evening.
In a statement released on Tuesday, the IOPC said that one of the misconduct notices relates to an officer’s possible breach of police standards of duties and responsibilities.
