Man shot in head during argument ‘an accident’

AN INQUEST into the death of a man who was shot dead during an argument with his partner at their home in Cork has returned a verdict of misadventure.

Eva Walker, aged 37, told how her partner, Charlie Wrench, became violent towards her at the home they shared in Dromiscane, Millstreet, Co Cork, on the night of August 14, 2006.

She told coroner Dr Michael Kennedy that Mr Wrench started slapping her and pulling her around the kitchen. She asked for a phone to call her family so they could come and get her, and stated her partner responded to that request by trying to strangle her.
