Retired fisherman back in Isle of Man court on manslaughter charge

AN elderly Kerryman is due back before a court in the Isle of Man today on a charge of manslaughter.

Richard “Benny” Moore, a 79-year-old retired fisherman from Dingle, Co Kerry, has been forced to stay on the island for the past 11 months following his arrest last October over the death of a woman with whom he had been drinking in a hotel.

Mr Moore is charged with the manslaughter of South African woman Maureen Fox, aged 38, in the Isle of Man capital, Douglas on October 28, 2002.
