Policeman cleared of G20 death faces probe

“Significant questions” remain about the behaviour of a police officer who was cleared of manslaughter during the G20 protests, the police watchdog said.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission’s deputy chairwoman, Deborah Glass, has also ordered that constable Simon Harwood face Metropolitan Police disciplinary proceedings in public.

Mr Harwood, aged 45, was acquitted at Southwark Crown Court of the manslaughter of Ian Tomlinson in the City of London in Apr 2009.
