Manslaughter?!

So, he didn't so much fall as was pushed?

Manslaughter?!

Only just now seeing it was the regatta. They can be quite boozy of an evening.

How sad.

Manslaughter?!

So, he didn't so much fall as was pushed?

I wonder if it was the nautical equivalent of dangerous driving which has caused David to be flung from the RIB? I suspect there were others on the vessel whose testimony has allowed the police to bring this charge, but who knows. It is an interesting development, and one I didn't expect.

A 19-YEAR-OLD man has been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter after a missing British sailor fell overboard from a boat.

David Haw, 24, has not been seen since he plunged into the chilly water of Poole Harbour, Dorset, at 2am yesterday.

It is understood that upon falling in he was fully clothed but not wearing a life jacket.

He had reportedly been in Poole for the weekend for a sailing regatta involving keelboat racing at the time he is feared to have drowned.
