Ofcom investigates broadcasting of Lee Rigby footage
TV watchdog Ofcom is investigating the broadcasting of footage from the scene of the murder of soldier Lee Rigby, after receiving about 700 complaints.
BBC News, 5 News, ITV News, Channel 4 News and Sky News are among the broadcasters being investigated for showing graphic pre-watershed images.
The footage showed a man holding a knife in his blood-covered hands, with a body on the ground behind.
>
About half of the complaints were about ITV News, which was the first to broadcast the footage on its 18.30 BST bulletin on 22 May.
