The inquest into the death of Mark Duggan, whose shooting by police sparked the London riots two years ago, was set to open today as one of his brothers said: “We feel we’re the most hated family in Britain.”

Shaun Hall said the family had “lost faith in the police, the judiciary and the police watchdog” which investigated the shooting but pledged their support for the coroner’s inquiry.

“It is more than two years since I lost my brother, but we are no nearer to finding out what happened on the day Mark was killed and why,” said Mr Hall.

Duggan’s mother Pam also attacked the police. She said: “We have been provided with nothing but lies, misinformation, and delay. We hope that the truth will finally come out for the sake of all his family, not least his young children.”

Duggan, 29, was shot by police who stopped the taxi in which he was travelling in Tottenham in August 2011. There has been speculation that he was on his way to carry out a revenge killing for his cousin’s death at the time.

Anger at the police shooting marked the start of a wave of rioting, looting and arson across London and other parts of the UK.

Earlier this year Kevin Hutchinson-Foster was jailed for 11 years for supplying a gun to Duggan minutes before he was shot.

He is due to give evidence from prison to the inquest at the High Court, which is expected to last eight weeks. The 11-strong jury will be taken to Ferry Lane, where Duggan died, and Vicarage Road, where he was allegedly handed the gun.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission has said that investigators have found no evidence of criminality by any of the armed officers involved in the shooting.

Writing in the Guardian today, Mr Hall said the family had been “fobbed off” by the IPCC.

“If Mark had been killed by anyone other than a police officer we would be much further down the road by now of knowing what happened,” he said. “Instead of being kept informed about the investigation we have had to deal with hostility and abuse from members of the public.”

He said that nobody in the family had taken part in the riots, yet “I felt as if we were the most hated family in Britain”.

He went on: “Since Mark was killed we have lost faith in the police, the judiciary and the IPCC.

“We never expected it to be easy to find out the truth about what happened to Mark but we also never expected it to be this difficult.

“Although we no longer trust the police and the IPCC we do trust the inquest system.

“We are going into this inquest hoping that at last we will find out the truth about what happened to Mark, that those responsible will be held to account, and that what happened to Mark will not happen to anyone else in the future.”
