Belly Mujinga: Searching for the Truth
Rianna Croxford investigates the death of transport worker Belly Mujinga, following reports she had been coughed and spat on by a customer at London鈥檚 Victoria Station.
The death of transport worker Belly Mujinga, following reports she had been coughed and spat on by a customer at London鈥檚 Victoria Station, was described by the prime minister as appalling and has prompted two million people to join a Justice for Belly campaign. A police investigation wasn鈥檛 launched until five weeks after the mother of one had died from Covid-19 and concluded there was insufficient evidence to charge anyone with a crime. Now, Panorama reporter Rianna Croxford goes back over the evidence and asks whether all available lines of inquiry were followed. She also examines claims that Belly could have been better protected at work and hears calls for the circumstances of Belly Mujinga鈥檚 death to be investigated at an inquest.
