Court ruling names Azelle Rodney death cop as Anthony Long
Former police marksman Anthony Long faces murder charge
The former police marksman charged with the murder of robbery suspect Azelle Rodney can be named for the first time, a court ruled yesterday.
Anthony Long, an ex-specialist firearms officer with the Metropolitan Police’s CO19 section, will stand trial on June 8 in a case expected to last around a month.
Previously referred to as E7, he can be named after reporting restrictions were lifted by Mr Justice Sweeney at the Old Bailey on Friday.
