Trial of policeman accused of ex-footballer Dalian Atkinson’s murder in UK to be held in 2021

Dalian Atkinson death

The trial of a police officer in England accused of murdering former Aston Villa star Dalian Atkinson has been relisted for next year, because of timetable delays caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Pc Benjamin Monk, 41, was charged last year with murder and an alternative charge of manslaughter in connection with an incident in 2016 in which Mr Atkinson was Tasered.
