Three Tamworth men charged with Kidnap and Manslaughter
THREE men from the Tamworth area have been charged with Kidnap and Manslaughter following the discovery of a male with serious head injuries on Saturday.
Just before 11.52am on Saturday 2 May, a man was found lying in the road with life threatening head injuries in Haunton, near Tamworth.
Officers from Staffordshire Police and staff from West Midlands Ambulance Service attended the scene and a man, in his late 20s, was taken to the University Hospital in Coventry.
Staffordshire Police released the following statement on Sunday evening:
“Sadly, the 28-year-old man found with serious head injuries in Haunton, Tamworth, yesterday has died in hospital this afternoon.
“Detectives investigating the incident have tonight charged three men with manslaughter and kidnap. The men, aged 24, 25 and 32 from the Tamworth area, will appear before magistrates in Cannock tomorrow morning.
“Family liaison officers are working to support the man’s family. Local police will support the wider community affected by the incident.”
Police officers want to speak to anyone who witnessed the incident.
Anyone with information should call Staffordshire Police on 101, quoting incident number 278.

Name the bastards,
Omg thoughts are with the family so sad x x
Completely shocking, that poor man, RIP and hope justice is done
Ohh becci I’m so sorry this is horrific truly tragic.
Thinking of you all xxxxxx
Why are they not on a murder charge?
Because for a murder charge to stick the prosecution have to prove beyond reasonable doubt that it was premeditated AND that they intended to kill, something that is very hard to prove which would mean they could possibly get away with it. The kidnap charge should hopefully increase any sentence IF found proven.
Hope that helps

Yes thank you and I did already know that. My argument is that if they have already premeditated taking him as well as no doubt carrying sufficient weapons to cause death then that for me is murder. Punching someone once and that blow causes a death is more like man slaughter in my mind.
Kidnap is premeditated so how can it be manslaughter rather than murder? !
They didnt mean to kill him. The kidnapping was premeditated but they hadnt planned on taking his life. But they still did. But they phoned the ambulance and stayed with him. Hopefully they go away for a very long time. Xx
I didn’t know the poor lad who this happened to but I have a 17 yr old son & I can guarantee the 3 wouldn’t reach trial should god forbid this should of happened to him…when you hit someone the risk is you could kill them….prison is too good for them!!!
So sad RIP xx thinking of his family at this time xx
Omg rip, scary x

Unfortunately I know all that were involved and the 3 men need to be done for murder because they not only kidnapped him they beat the poor lad that bad his head was dislodged from his spine Jason never hurt a fly my thoughts are with the family R.I.P JASON X
They actually broke his neck by pushing him out of a moving car. X
They should b named I think cause they had no possible reason to do what they did they are scum goin jail is no good eye for eye but never happens sick
As much as I agree an I know there has been names banded around-but putting there names on social network will go in there favour and that’s the last thing anyone wants-don’t get why it works like that just the shocking justice system I suppose
R.i.p Jason hope they rot in hell the scum thoughts with all his family x
I can’t believe Shattuck three have done I mean the size of them to slice is a joke poor Jay he did not deserve this at all
Rip Jason, sending our love to you mum and sisters.
Although we do not know the young man we are sending our condolences to his family and friends, having had a son pass away suddenly last December we know what they must be going through, although the fact that others caused this death is just incredible! Life is to precious! RIP safe in heaven were no-one will be able to hurt you!
R.I.P Jason Xx
Rip young man thoughts with your family and friends God and you x
What is wrong with this fucked up world . ?
God bless and keep you safe Jason. No one and nothing can ever hurt you again. I know how scared you would have been. Rest in peace in the arms of the Angels. Forever in our hearts. Xx
