Dalian Atkinson: Probe into death of former Aston Villa footballer nears end
A probe into the death of former footballer Dalian Atkinson is nearing completion as it has been revealed three police officers have now been interviewed under criminal caution.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission’s investigation into the death of the former Aston Villa player is nearly complete and it is putting together a final report.
But the IPCC says the criminal investigation does not necessarily mean criminal charges will follow.
The former Aston Villa player died aged 48 after being shot by a police Taser outside his father's house in Meadow Close, Trench, Telford, on August 15 last year.
The retired footballer became unresponsive and died despite the efforts of hospital doctorswho battled for 35 minutes to try to save him.
