The family of a man shot dead during a police operation on the M62 earlier this year say they’ll continue to put on pressure for answers.

Yassar Yaqub’s family made a trip to 10 Downing Street over the weekend to get the support of the Prime Minister.

They say they're unhappy with the pace of the IPCC investigation into the shooting of their son by police on a motorway slip road at Ainley Top earlier this year.

Well the IPCC say Yassar's family are being updated - and that it will take time to make sure all aspects of his death are properly explored.
