Charged is Evon Anthony Edwards, also known as ‘Tunny’, a 42-year-old auto body workman of Green Pond district, Manchester. He is charged with the death of 19-year-old Dane Wright, also known as ‘Daney’, a labourer, also of Green Pond District, Manchester.
The fatal confrontation unfolded at a garage in the area, involving Wright and Edwards, accompanied by three others. During the dispute, Edwards reportedly flung a frozen water bottle, striking Wright on the left side of his head and inflicting a wound. He died while being treated at hospital.
