Trial collapses after prisoner retracts statement.
THIS week’s Manx Independent is in the shops now.
The lead story on page 1 is about a trial that collapsed this week.
A prisoner was accused of attacking another inmate. But the other inmate retracted his statement to police.
Before the trial collapsed, the defence suggested that a fair trail couldn’t take place because of comments posted on an internet site. We report that aspect of the story on page seven.
The main picture on page one is the scene after a tram crash in Groudle. Eighty passengers were on the tram at the time.
Inside, we reveal that Manx Telecom and Sure are going to go head to head in another market. They’re both selling boxes providing television services. Manx Telecom’s service has hit the market first but Sure will follow next month.
But with 90 per cent of Manx homes already watching satellite television, will they succeed?
On our south page we report about turkeys voting for Christmas. Well, almost. One board of commissioners has agreed they have too many members and have decided it’s time for a cull.
On the back page we preview this weekend’s End to End mountain biking competition and we celebrate Daniel McCanney’s success in World Enduro.
