Merseyside man charged after woman dies on the Isle of Man
It follows what police have described as an 'altercation' outside a hotel in Douglas
A 53-year-old man from the Merseyside area is due to appear in court on the Isle of Man today (April 1) after being charged with manslaughter in connection with the death of a woman over the Bank Holiday weekend.
It's after what police have described as an 'altercation' outside a hotel in Douglas on Friday night (March 29).
Leading the investigation, Detective Superintendent Stephen Maddocks said: “I would like to thank the public for their help in relation to this matter.
"In particular I would like to thank all of the witnesses who have come forward following my appeal yesterday including the couple who were stood at the bus stop who are now helping us with our enquiries.
"I would encourage any other people who have yet come forward to do so. I am interested to hear from anyone who saw the man and woman in their 50’s, together with another man and woman in their 20’s, who had a small child with them.
"I am particularly interested to hear from anyone who saw the group as they passed the Castlemona Shops and their actions as they passed the Palace Hotel & Casino, which is where the Majestic Chinese Restaurant is located and the patrons inside the restaurant may well have witnessed an altercation between them.
"Again, I appeal to any vehicle driver, either a member of the public or a taxi driver travelling along Central and Queens Promenade between 9pm and 10pm who may have dash cam footage to come forward. Specialist Police Family Liaison Officers are supporting the family at what is a very difficult and sad time."
