A 21-year-old man has appeared in court charged with manslaughter.

Kyle Twentyman, of Allonby, appeared before Carlisle Magistrates’ Court yesterday. He did not enter a plea.

Twentyman is accused of unlawfully killing Raymond Pattinson, who suffered fatal injuries after being struck by a car.

Mr Pattinson, 20, of Edinburgh Road, Maryport, died in the West Cumberland Hospital in Whitehaven in March last year after he was hit by a Suzuki Swift on the main road through Allonby.

He had been working as a junior chef at the Old Postinghouse, Deanscales, near Cockermouth.

Twentyman spoke only to confirm his name and address and the case was adjourned until February 25, when it will be heard at Carlisle Crown Court.

Twentyman was released on bail.
