Ian Tomlinson unlawfully killed by Pc at G20 protests
Ian Tomlinson was unlawfully killed by Pc Simon Harwood at the G20 protests in London, an inquest jury has ruled.

Mr Tomlinson, 47, collapsed and died after he was hit by a baton and pushed to the ground by the officer at the protests in London on 1 April 2009.

It will come as the smallest of comfort to his relations, and an indictment of our justice and policing systems that it has taken two years to reach this point.
