A Hackney man appeared in court yesterday charged with the murder of an on-duty policeman in 1985.

PC Keith Blakelock, 40, was attacked and stabbed to death while trying to protect firefighters during the riots at Broadwater Farm in Tottenham that followed the death of Cynthia Jarrett during a police raid.

Nicholas Jacobs, 44, of Hackney, was remanded in custody by Westminster magistrates.

Mr Jacobs is due to appear at the Old Bailey on Friday 26 July.

He was first arrested in 2010 and was 16 years old when PC Blakelock was killed.
