28 Feb
Summary
- A man's body was found in a car in a Helston car park.
- Two women have been charged with preventing a lawful burial.
- The deceased was identified as 66-year-old Glen Manders.
In early December 2024, police in Helston, Cornwall, discovered the body of Glen Manders, aged 66, inside a car. The discovery occurred during a welfare check conducted by Devon and Cornwall Police in the early hours of Wednesday, December 18, 2024.
Following the discovery, two women were initially arrested on suspicion of murder, wilful neglect, and obstructing a lawful burial. These charges were later dropped by the authorities.
However, Dinah Manders, 88, from Exeter, and Rosemary Manders, 53, from Ilminster, have now been formally charged with preventing a lawful and decent burial of a dead body. Both women have been released on bail.
They are scheduled to appear before Truro Magistrates' Court on Thursday, March 26. The investigation continues to focus on the circumstances surrounding Glen Manders' death.
