Two begin trial over Oswestry pensioner’s death
The trial of two men charged with killing an Oswestry pensioner has begun at Stafford Crown Court.
Peter John Marston, 23, of Stafford, and Danny Keeble, 25, both plead not guilty to the manslaughter of 87-year-old Charles Green from Oswestry.
Mr Green, died on 2 June last year, a month after he was assaulted during a break-in at his home in Ambleside Road.
He had remained in hospital following the assault during the early hours of May 2, having received head, hip and arm injuries.
Both men were remanded in custody following a court appearance in October until today’s trial.
The trial is expected to last a fortnight.
