Watchdog probe over G20 demo death
The police watchdog will investigate how two forces handled the release of information to the media after the death of Ian Tomlinson at the G20 demonstrations.
Mr Tomlinson's family have complained that the Metropolitan Police knew its officers had contact with the newspaper seller before he collapsed and died during the protests on April 1.
They allege that the force issued "misinformation" about the level of contact until a newspaper published a video six days later showing an officer pushing Mr Tomlinson to the ground and hitting him with his baton.
