The Independent Commission of Investigations (INDECOM) is reporting that 11 people have been killed by the security forces this month alone.
 
The latest incident happened on Sunday in Williamsfield, Manchester where 14-year-old high school student, Mikhail Simpson, was killed by the police.
 
His death brings to 66, the number of persons killed by the security forces, since the start of the year.  
 
INDECOM says its Director of Complaints for the Central Region, Dave Lewin, conducted a scene revisit and community engagement following Sunday's shooting incident in Williamsfield.  
 
INDECOM says no firearm was reported as recovered from the incident scene.
 
It adds that no body-worn cameras were issued or used during this incident.
 
The concerned officers will be required to provide statements to INDECOM as well as attend the office of the Commission, to be interviewed in relation to the incident.
