CAMPASPE: Upgrade to manslaughter charge


Campaspe Crime Investigation Unit detectives have upgraded the charges against a man following an alleged assault in Echuca last year.
Officers attended the scene and located a 51-year-old Echuca man, who was transported to hospital with injuries where he died nine days later.
Following further investigation, the charges against the 52-year-old man have been upgraded to manslaughter, a Police representative says.
