BREAKING: Trial date set for Chorley prison officer charged with gross negligence manslaughter
A trial date has been set for two prison officers charged with gross negligence manslaughter following the death of an inmate at HMP Liverpool.
Custodial manager Paul Fairhurst, from Chorley, and senior officer Rachel Jameson appeared at Liverpool Crown Court today . Fairhurst, 63, and Jameson, 31, were charged with gross negligence manslaughter after 35-year-old Anthony Paine ended his own life on February 19 2018. They were also charged with failing to discharge general health and safety duty at work contrary to the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. The defendants did not enter pleas during the hearing on Thursday, which dealt with case management matters.A number of friends and family members sat in one part of the public gallery, while Mr Paine’s father sat on the other side of court. Judge David Aubrey fixed a trial date for November 20, with the case expected to last four to six weeks.
Jameson, of Middleton Drive, Prescot; and Fairhurst, of Belmont Drive in Chorley; were both released on unconditional bail. A further case management hearing will be held on March 17. The charges were authorised by the Crown Prosecution Service in November last year following an investigation by Merseyside Police.
