Chase trio accused of lies and silence

Oct 14 2008 By Joanne Douglas

THREE men accused of the manslaughter of Huddersfield man Francis Conway have hidden "behind a veil of silence", a jury was told.

Caleb Coleman, 21, Wayne Lee, 22, and 18-year-old Jamie Nichols are all standing trial for the manslaughter of the Berry Brow man, known as Frank.

The 33-year-old dad-of-one died after being hit by a recovery truck on June 22 last year.

The prosecution in the case against Coleman, Lee and Nichols say the defendants chased Mr Conway to his death.

All three Bradford men deny the charge of manslaughter.
