Unlawful act manslaughter count withdrawn from jury in Cling Film Case

Following legal submissions by the defence at the close of the Crown’s case, the count of unlawful act manslaughter has been withdrawn from the jury in R v Bowler and Connor in which John O’Higgins and Oliver Saxby QC are defending, the case involving the death of a man called Alun Williams following a ‘kinky sex session’.

A single count of gross negligence manslaughter remains, as the first defendant commences his case.

The jury is expected to retire some time next week.
