Three people have been charged in relation to the death of police officer Dave Philips

In the UK, three people have been charged with assisting an offender in relation to the death of PC Dave Phillips on Merseyside last week.

The two 19-year-olds and a woman who is 34 are due before magistrates later this morning.

PC Phillips was knocked over and killed by a pick-up truck in Wallasey in Liverpool on October 5.

PC Dave Philips, who was just 34-years-old, was hit by the truck while trying to use a stinger device on the vehicle which had been taken in a burglary last week.

He died in hospital shortly after the incident.

An 18-year-old man Clayton Williams has been charged with his murder.
