2020

On the morning of 25 September 2020, a 23-year-old man was arrested for drugs offences and possession of ammunition and taken to the Croydon Custody Centre in a police vehicle.

While Sgt Matt Ratana was approaching the suspect, Louis De Zoysa, to assist in a search, De Zoysa shot him, before being tackled to the ground.
