A MAN has appeared in court charged with the manslaughter of a woman at a Flintshire holiday park.

Warren Martin Coulton, 51, of Buck Lane in Baildon, West Yorkshire, did not enter any pleas in relation to the death of Claire Wright at Herons Lake Retreat in Caerwys on July 16 2018.

Coulton also faces three other charges, including two instances of assaulting Tracey Bastow, occasioning her actual bodily harm, alleged offences that date back to 2010. He also faces a charge of coercive behaviour between December 2015 and July 2018.

Coulton, wearing a black puffer type jacket, was appearing at Mold Magistrates Court and will next appear in the crown court on February 21, where is expected to enter pleas for all four charges.
