A second police officer, also from the West Mercia Police force, has been charged with assault causing actual bodily harm. Both have appeared at Birmingham Magistrates’ Court. The CPS made the decision to press charges following an investigation by the Independent Office for Police Conduct . The last time this happened in the UK was five years ago, when Anthony Long, a retired Metropolitan Police firearms officer, was charged with the murder of robbery suspect Azelle Rodney.The exact circumstances of Dalian Atkinson’s death haven’t been revealed and it is not known whether the Taser contributed to, or caused his death.

Mr Atkinson started his career at Ipswich Town before moving to Sheffield Wednesday, Real Sociedad, Aston Villa and Fenerbahçe in Turkey.
