A POLICEMAN suspended over the death in custody of musician Sean Rigg must have his suspension re-examined, the High Court ruled today.
The Independent Office for Public Conduct (IOPC) also announced it had directed gross misconduct charges against five Metropolitan Police officers involved in the death of Mr Rigg.
The musician died at Brixton police station on August 21 2008 after being restrained.
