The jury in the Old Bailey trial of three teenagers for the murder of Pc Andrew Harper has been discharged due to the coronavirus pandemic. Henry Long, 18, and two 17-year-old boys were accused of killing Pc Harper in August last year. The trial had been one of eight at the Old Bailey to continue last week despite the pandemic. More than a dozen high-profile Old Bailey trials had already been postponed following measures to delay the spread of Covid-19. Earlier the same day, another Old Bailey jury convicted the Manchester Arena bomber's brother Hashem Abedi of 22 counts of murder, attempted murder and conspiracy to cause explosions.
