"A man has been cleared of killing police officer Keith Blakelock during riots in north London in 1985. Nicholas Jacobs, 45, denied murdering the officer, who was stabbed 43 times at Broadwater Farm in Tottenham. The Old Bailey jury heard from three witnesses who said they saw Mr Jacobs take part, but his defence team questioned their credibility. On Wednesday, after four hours of deliberations, Mr Jacobs was found not guilty of murder and manslaughter."
