The young woman who apparently got her foot caught in the cattle grid and was run over by the train.

They no longer believe this is the case, and have arrested her partner on a manslaughter charge.

"A man charged with the manslaughter of his partner on a railway track has appeared in court.

Police launched an inquiry after Miss Mack was killed by a train as she attempted to cross railway tracks in Colchester, Essex.

Last week, authorities said she became trapped in a cattle grid but sources now say that is no longer believed to be the case.

According to reports at the time, two men had tried in vain to rescue her as the train approached the crossing at about 50mph."

Your thoughts?
 
My thoughts are:
Why charge him with manslaughter ? Why not with murder ? --My gut feeling is that there isn't enough to charge him with murder so he will be cleared soon.
 
Sounds like the media jumped to conclusions again, getting your foot stuck on a railway crossing is like something from an old black and white silent movie.
 
I don't understand how he is supposed to be responsible?
Even if he pushed her there, she could have got out of the way.
 
It's a bit confusing really
I mean how can It be possible unless he was one of the two men at the time holding her on the track, but even then other people would have been able to see what was going on, plus they managed to get out of the way of the train in time surely she could have?
 
they were trying to one of these bondage sessions on the track but it all went sadly wrong
 
To me, manslaughter implies that someone caused another's death, but it wasn't deliberate.

It is conceivable that the man encouraged Miss Mack to either try to beat the barriers, or continue across the railway line in to the path of the train. This is pure conjecture at this point, however; we shall have to await the outcome of this case.
