A man has pleaded guilty to manslaughter following the death of a devoted father in Emsworth. Stephen Harrington, 47, was found with a serious head injury on land along Marlpit Lane on Saturday 23 July 2022. He was taken to hospital but sadly died two days later on 25 July.
An investigation was launched and three people – Thomas Goldring, Joseph Butler, and Tarin Linfield – were subsequently charged with his murder. They were remanded in prison to stand trial on January 23, 2023. Goldring, 21, died in December 2022. As a result, any statements provided by him as part of the investigation could no longer be used as evidence in court.
