Ah yes, I think the headline here is misleading:
Coronavirus: Death of Belly Mujinga 'not linked to spit attack'
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-52853859
"Following a review of all the information, senior detectives have concluded that there is no evidence to substantiate any criminal offences having taken place," it said.
I suppose this can be interpreted in various ways. I'm not an expert in what exactly they mean by this.

AFAIK, there wasn’t actually a ruling saying the slitting didn’t kill people. Rather the CPS didn’t press charges because they didn’t think they could prove a causal link/guilt in court, because (eg) Belly Mujinga (40y/o TFL worker) could have gotten sick from anyone so their evidence was circumstantial at best. Not quite the same, but I may have missed a ruling somewhere.
