Ofcom investigating broadcasters over Woolwich murder footage Ofcom is examining the decision to air footage of the aftermath of the murder of soldier Lee Rigby taken from a mobile phone after a number of complaints. One of the alleged killers was seen shouting in to the camera and making various statements shortly after Drummer Rigby was hacked to death on May 22. Ofcom is investigating BBC News, 5 News, ITV News, Channel 4 News and Sky News among others. It will assess whether the footage was appropriately scheduled for children and whether any potential offence could be justified by the context. Michael Adebolajo, 28, from Romford, Essex, is charged with murdering Drummer Rigby near Woolwich barracks on May 22. He is also accused of the attempted murder of two police officers and possession of a firearm, a 9.4mm KNIL model 91 revolver, with intent to cause others to believe that violence would be used. Michael Adebowale, 22, from Greenwich, south east London, has also been charged with the soldier's murder and possession of a firearm.
