The New Zealand-born UK police officer was shot by a handcuffed man in Croydon Custody Centre, while he approached him to perform a Covid-19 temperature test.
Two arrests have since been made in relation to his death. Mr Ratana was from the Hawke's Bay and worked for Auckland Police for five years before moving to England.
Te Aniwa Hurihanganui spoke with his cousin, Adrian Rurawhe.
