Man Charged With Manslaughter Over 2013 Swindon Incident
Wiltshire Police have charged a man with manslaughter in connection with a fatal incident that occurred in Swindon 13 years ago. The charge follows a lengthy investigation into the death, with the suspect set to appear in court.
Wiltshire Police announced on April 26, 2026, that a man has been charged with manslaughter following a fatal incident in Swindon dating back to 2013. The charge comes after a detailed and protracted investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death.
According to Wiltshire Police, the accused, whose name has not been released, was arrested and charged after new evidence came to light. The force stated that the man is due to appear at Swindon Magistrates Court in the coming days. No further details about the victim or the nature of the incident were provided in the police statement.
The investigation was led by Wiltshire Police’s Major Crime Investigation Team, which worked closely with the Crown Prosecution Service to review the evidence and bring charges. The case had remained open for over a decade, with officers continuing to appeal for information from the public throughout the years.
This development marks a significant step forward in a case that has remained unresolved since 2013. Wiltshire Police have urged anyone with further information to come forward as the legal process continues.
