A man has been interviewed in connection with an incident involving a railway worker who died with coronavirus.

Belly Mujinga was spat at on the concourse of Victoria Station in London.

Ms Mujinga, who has an 11-year-old daughter, then came down with Covid-19 and later died in Barnet Hospital on April 5.

A British Transport Police spokesman said: "Following a number of enquiries into an incident at London Victoria station on March 21, officers identified a 57-year-old man from London in connection.

"He was interviewed under caution today at a London police station.

"Detectives will continue to collate evidence and investigate the circumstances behind the incident.

"They are not looking to identify anyone further in relation to the incident."

​Leading the flood of tributes for Ms Mujinga, Boris Johnson told Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday that the death was “tragic”.

He said: “The fact that she was abused for doing her job is utterly appalling.

“My thoughts, and I’m sure the thoughts of the whole House, are with her family.”
