Three white men are to stand trial for killing Ahmaud Arbery, a 25-year-old black man whose death was largely ignored until a leaked mobile phone video stirred outrage over the shooting.

Greg McMichael and his adult son, Travis McMichael, armed themselves and pursued Mr Arbery in a pick-up truck after they spotted him running in their neighbourhood just outside the Georgia port city of Brunswick on February 23 2020.
