Second post-mortem | |
A policeman has been interviewed under caution on suspicion of manslaughter after new tests overturned the initial post-mortem into the cause of Mr Tomlinson's death. | |
Mr Tomlinson, 47, was filmed being struck and pushed over by a police officer. A fresh post-mortem examination found he died of abdominal bleeding, not a heart attack, as first thought. | |
Lawyers for the family said the new post-mortem raised the likelihood of a manslaughter charge. | |
Film footage also showed an officer hitting Ms Fisher across the face with his hand and on her leg with a baton on 2 April. | |
"He just said 'get back', pushed me and then hit me across the face," she said. |
