1984: Libyan embassy shots kill policewoman
Britain restored diplomatic relations with Libya in 1999 after the Libyan Government admitted it bore "general responsibility" for WPC Fletcher's death.
It [Libya] also paid a six-figure sum in compensation to her family.

Can not comment, have no knowledge of Libyan or Shariah law.
But I seem to remember that there is something about paying off blood feuds, but that could have been from a Carry On film.

Second, the guy was in the UK illegally and running from the police a few weeks after 50 people were blown to pieces - God rest their souls.
What does this say about the Brazilian people if their first reaction is to sue.
If he was in his own country, legally then his own countries police force DO shoot to kill and the norm is 4 times to the back of the neck / head : read here :-

Speaking of coppers in their own countries, did anyone ever watch Karachi Cops on tv years ago ?
They were not shy at whipping suspects with the lathi poles.

I've been watching the first season of Spooks/MI-5 on DVD.... a lot of parallels to what has been happening in London. Of course, it's only television.

I remember when the parents were begging that their son not be struck....
