16:32 EDT, 6 May 2021 15 shares An elderly neighbour of ex-Aston Villa star Dalian Atkinson has told the court she watched as a police officer kicked him in the head as he lay dying. The Crown alleges West Mercia Pc Benjamin Monk murdered the ex-Aston Villa star by kicking him in the head intending serious harm, while the officer's then partner, Pc Mary Ellen Bettley-Smith struck blows with a baton out of anger. Jean Jeffery-Shaw told Birmingham Crown Court she was so ‘traumatised’ after watching the police ‘kill a man’ outside her bedroom window that she was forced to consult her GP. It comes after a statement written by Mr Atkinson's father Ernest before his own death told the murder trial he warned police his son was 'not in his right mind' on the night he was Tasered.
