 In our sports news, former Aston Villa striker, Dillian Atkinson, has died after being tasered three times and kicked at least twice to the head by an angry police officer. Birmingham Crown Court in Central England was told that West Messiah Police Constable Benjamin Monk denies the murder and manslaughter of Atkinson, who also played for Ipswich in Sheffield Wednesday. Prosecutor Alexandra Healy alleged Atkinson was tasered for 33 seconds more than six times the standard five-second phase during the incident in 2016. She told the court that the footballer who had serious health problems, including end stage renal failure, moved towards the officers after they were called to a disturbance in a town of Talford, 30 miles from Birmingham.
