Man Charged with Manslaughter in Domestic Dispute
Update: 2025-11-27
Description
John Torney, aged forty-one, faces trial for negligent manslaughter after Emma Bates death. Prosecutors allege assault and failure to seek medical help. Torney pleaded not guilty to manslaughter and fifteen related charges. He previously attempted to dismiss the manslaughter charge but was denied. Bates death was ruled due to diabetic ketoacidosis, not assault. Torneys lawyer argued no legal duty of care, but the magistrate disagreed, finding them domestic partners. Torney remains in custody, with a Supreme Court hearing scheduled for December sixteenth.
