Two Women Charged Over Cornwall Car Death After Police Drop Murder Suspicions

Both are bailed to appear at Truro Magistrates' Court on 26 March.

Overview

  • Devon and Cornwall Police charged Dinah Manders, 88, and Rosemary Manders, 53, with preventing a lawful and decent burial of a dead body.
  • The case follows a December 18, 2024 welfare check in Helston that led officers to a man's body inside a vehicle at Helston Business Park.
  • Police said the deceased was a man in his 60s from the Avon and Somerset area, identified in reporting as Glen Manders, 66.
  • Investigators confirmed no further action on the women’s earlier arrests on suspicion of murder and wilful neglect of a person without mental capacity.
  • Manders is listed at Weirfield Road, Exeter, and Upton Lane, Ilminster, respectively, and both have been released on bail pending the March court appearance.
