Taser death cops no longer clear of wrongdoing

HIGH Court judges threw out yesterday a police watchdog report that cleared officers of serious wrongdoing over the death of a man they had Tasered.

In the first case of its kind, judges Lord Justice Elias and Mr Justice Males quashed the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) report on the death of Jordon Begley at the request of the watchdog itself.

Mr Begley, from Gorton, Manchester, died in July 2013 two hours after being Tasered at his home by police.
