'Our son was shot dead by police on Christmas Eve - we need answers'
"Christmas just means death now," the parents of Marcus Meade say.
It's been exactly a year since the 39-year-old was shot dead by a West Mercia Police officer on Christmas Eve 2024. His family say they are desperate for answers around his death.
"When they took my child away from me and Debbie, they took away our Christmases - we can't celebrate Christmas," Marcus's father Anthony Meade says. Marcus was shot once in the chest after a five-hour stand-off with officers at a property in Redditch, Worcestershire.
On the day of the incident, it was reported that the father-of-two had been holding a knife. Marcus's parents say he had suffered with mental health issues for several years, and on the day of the incident he had been home alone and only a danger to himself.
"Marcus was crying out for help that day," Anthony says. "He was talking about killing himself, but he was crying out for help." West Mercia Police described his death as "tragic.
