Three defendants convicted of manslaughter in fatal Hull assault of army veteran
A 53-year-old Army veteran was killed after a violent clash in Hull, leading to manslaughter convictions for two women and a man.
In April, 53-year-old Army veteran Martin Chadburn suffered a life-threatening head wound after being repeatedly assaulted outside Princes Quay on Carr Lane, Hull. He was hospitalized but died two days later. Police investigations, including CCTV from a nearby bar, identified a group involved in the attack, leading to the arrest of five suspects.
After a seven-week trial at Hull Crown Court, Britney Naylor, Shaytiya Farrow and Lukasz Matusiak were convicted of manslaughter, while Bethany Naylor and Kristjan Suits were cleared. The three convicted individuals have been remanded pending a sentencing hearing on 27 November. Authorities highlighted the case as a stark reminder of the consequences of street violence.
