A US federal grand jury has indicted the four former police officers involved in George Floyd’s arrest and death, accusing them of violating the black man’s constitutional rights as he was restrained face-down on the road and gasping for air.

The three-count indictment names Derek Chauvin, Thomas Lane, J Kueng and Tou Thao.
