Man admits killing brother-in-law at Haslington

On trial for the murder of his brother-in-law Terrence Adams, Les Charles Critchlow yesterday told the court that he would no longer be going through with the trial—instead accepting responsibility for the killing.

In the circumstances, he was re-arraigned.

Critchlow would then plead not guilty to the capital charge on which he had been indicted, but pleaded to the lesser offence of manslaughter.
