A police officer has denied the murder and manslaughter of former Premier League footballer Dalian Atkinson.
The trial of PC Benjamin Monk, of West Mercia Police, is expected to open next week at Birmingham Crown Court.
Prosecutor Alexandra Healy QC told the same court last week that opening addresses to the jury were due to take place on 4 May.
Monk was charged in 2019 with murder and an alternative charge of manslaughter after an inquiry into Mr Atkinson’s death in 2016 in Telford, Shropshire.
The 48-year-old former striker played for several clubs, including Aston Villa, Sheffield Wednesday and Ipswich Town.
