THE trial of a man charged in connection with the death of his partner and her 10-year-old daughter on a privately-owned boat on Windermere has been postponed.
Matthew Eteson, 41, of Church Road, Leyland, was charged with the manslaughter of Kelly Webster, 36, and her daughter Lauren Thornton, both from the Lancashire town, who died on April 1 2013.
A request was granted for more time to prepare Eteson’s defence and he is now expected to appear for trial at Preston Crown Court on October 5 2015.
