The trial of those accused of the murder of PC Andrew Harper is set to recommence sometime during the third week of June 2020.
PC Harper was killed in August last year (2019) after responding to reports of a burglary in process.
The original trial had started shortly before COVID-19 began to spread rapidly throughout the UK population.
But the presiding judge decided to stop the trial owing to the risk posed by COVID-19, and because several jurors had started to show signs of having the deadly virus.
During a hearing that was held today at the Old Bailey, a decision was made that the trial will begin with a new jury on a day during the week commencing 15th June; a specific date has not yet been set.

WE NEED YOUR HELP.Here at Emergency Services News, we aim to tell you stories that the mainstream media are not interested in reporting. Whilst the MSM love to berate and ridicule the emergency services, who is there to report on the realities of serving on the front line?
Emergency Services News is currently a loss-making entity. But our team of volunteers, all former emergency services personnel, do not do it for the money.
We do it because we are sick and tired of the mainstream media constantly trying to undermine the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep you and your family safe.
How many MSM journalists who speak ill of the emergency services have actually dared to don the uniform and risk their own lives to save the life of a complete stranger?
