Lusamba Katalay (third from left), the husband of Belly Mujinga, joins activists at a vigil at Victoria station
The family of a railway worker who died with Covid-19 after allegedly being spat at have called for police to disclose the suspect’s name.
Belly Mujinga, 47, died on April 5 last year with coronavirus after she was reportedly coughed on and spat at days earlier by a white customer at London’s Victoria station.
British Transport Police (BTP) interviewed a 57-year-old man over the incident but said there was not enough evidence that a crime had taken place.
A lawyer for Mrs Mujinga’s family, Lawrence Davies, said the force had refused to disclose the suspect’s name, preventing them from pursuing a private prosecution and further civil claims.
