CONTROVERSIAL hip hop group Kneecap will not be prosecuted by terror cops over their “kill your MP” remarks.
The Irish band – who the BBC refused to broadcast live at Glastonbury yesterday – were subject of a terror probe by the Met Police.
It related to a video which emerged last month calling for the death of British politicians.
The trio responded with a grovelling statement, insisting they would not incite violence against any individual.
And the Met Police has now said is will not proceed with the case for a number of reasons, including the “time elapsed between the events in the video and the video being brought to police attention”.
The force said: “A thorough investigation has now been completed by detectives from the Counter Terrorism Command, which included interviewing an individual under caution and seeking early investigative advice from the Crown Prosecution Service.
“A range of offences were considered as part of the investigation.
“However, given the time elapsed between the events in the video and the video being brought to police attention, any potential summary only offences were beyond the statutory time limit for prosecution.
“Relevant indictable offences were considered by the investigation team and, based on all of the current evidence available, a decision has been made that no further action will be taken at this time.”
