‚No realistic prospect‘ of charges over G20 death

There is still „no realistic prospect“ of pressing charges against police constable Simon Harwood over the death of Ian Tomlinson at the London G20 protests, the Director of Public Prosecutions has said after reviewing the decision in light of the suspension of pathologist Dr Freddy Patel.

Pc Harwood was told earlier this year he would not be charged with any offence after he was caught on camera striking the 47-year-old with his baton and pushing him to the ground in the City on April 1 last year during the G20 protests. (more on google.com)
