THE case of an East Lancashire man charged with the unlawful killing of a nursing home patient has been adjourned until March 22.
Dennis Anthony Latham, 32, of Brook Street, Rishton is jointly charged with Barbara Jean Campbell, 60, of Glasgow of killing Marion Ethel Dennis, 77.
Both appeared at the High Bailiff's Court yesterday in Douglas, Isle of Man, where the case was adjourned and their conditional bail extended.
The pair worked as nursing staff at the Ballastowell Gardens residential nursing home in Ramsey on the north of the island, where Mrs Dennis, a retired shopkeeper, was a patient.
Latham and Campbell were charged with the unlawful killing last year after the Isle of Man coroner called for a police investigation following Mrs Dennis' death at the island's Nobles Hospital on July 20, 1999.
