  • THE FAMILY of Dalian Atkinson have called for the justice for other black families who have lost loved ones “at the hands of the police” following the sentencing of a police officer for the manslaughter of the former footballer.
  • PC Benjamin Monk was found guilty after a jury concluded his use of a Taser for 33 seconds, and at least two kicks to the former Aston Villa star’s head while he was on the ground, had killed him.
  • Monk, 43, was sentenced to eight years in jail by Judge Melbourne Inman QC at Birmingham crown court.
