Five former Memphis police officers who were criminally charged for beating Tyre Nichols during an arrest that led to his death are now facing federal civil rights charges. An indictment lists three separate counts against the men, including the use of excessive force and failure to intervene, deliberate indifference, and witness tampering.

Nichols died in hospital three days later.
