Manslaughter accused’s plan ‘to go on rob’

One of two men charged with the manslaughter of an 87-year-old man in his Oswestry home rang the other to suggest they 'go on the rob' a jury heard at Stafford Crown Court.

During a party in the town over the Royal Wedding weekend, Danny Keeble rang Peter Marston, witness Diane Gardner said yesterday.

The two men are accused of breaking into the bungalow of Charles Green in Ambleside Road.

The pensioner suffered a broken hip socket and bleeding on the brain during a confrontation on May 2. He died a month later.

Marston, 23, formerly of Swan Lane, Oswestry, and Keeble, 26, of no fixed abode deny manslaughter and assaulting Mr Green with intent to rob.

Marston also denies burglary, a charge which Keeble has admitted.

Miss Gardner said: "Danny rang Peter Marston and told him to come round. He, Danny, wanted to go out on the rob. He phoned Pete more than once."

Mr Mark Wall, QC, for Keeble, suggested that the calls did not take place.

The jury also heard from Mr Green's two sons, who said their father was an independent man in good health.

Lawrence Green said he spoke to his father on the phone on May 2 in hospital.

"He told me 'I think I have dislocated my hip'," he said.

The trial continues.

EVERETT -- Police on Wednesday were canvassing the View Ridge-Madison neighborhood in Everett after a man was found dead there the night before. A neighbor spotted the man on the ground outside a vacant house at 22 Madison St. He called 911 about 6:20 p.m. The man had obvious signs of trauma to his torso, police said. He looked to be in his late 20s or early 30s. The Everett Major Crimes Unit is investigating the death as a homicide, Lt. Robert Goetz said. Detectives declined to say more about how they believe the man may have died. There are no identified suspects or motives. Detectives received a search warrant around 11:45 p.m. Tuesday and collected evidence at the scene. They returned Wednesday afternoon to look for clues in the daylight, Goetz said.

Manslaughter charges possible in boy's death

Published: Thursday, August 23, 2012, 5:55 p.m. MONROE -- Detectives believe a 7-year-old Monroe boy's parents should face second-degree manslaughter charges in connection with his January overdose death. Monroe police this week wrapped up their probe into the boy's Jan. 30 death and forwarded the case to prosecutors to decide if his parents should face criminal charges. Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Lisa Paul likely will begin reviewing the case in the coming days. She doesn't expect to make a charging decision in the near future, however. "It's quite an extensive investigation, and I want to review it thoroughly before I make any decision," she said. The boy, identified as "A.J." in court papers, ingested a lethal amount of salicylates, a chemical common in aspirin and other over-the-counter drugs. The medical examiner declined to conduct an autopsy on the boy, making it difficult to determine how the drug ended up in the boy's system. A
