"A detective has been sacked over his failed investigation into an associate of Mark Duggan, whose shooting by police sparked riots in August 2011.

The probe centred on Mr Duggan's associate, Kevin Hutchinson-Foster, who beat a man with a gun in east London.

Six days after the attack he gave the same gun to Mr Duggan, who was shot 15 minutes later by armed police.

The police watchdog found errors in how an officer, named only as DC Faulkner, conducted the initial investigation.

The officer was dismissed without notice."
