Bolton road death quiz: Man in custody
By Staff Reporter
A man is in police custody in Bolton after being arrested in prison over the death of a woman in a road accident in Deane nearly two years ago.

The 21-year-old prisoner from Liverpool, who is serving five years for burglary, was taken from Risley prison, and arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

Mother of two 44-year-old Laura Entwistle was knocked down in Wigan Road, Deane, as she walked home after a friend's birthday party at the Rumworth pub at 2.50am on January 21, 2006.




A speed camera was erected at this spot soon after this lady was killed. Oddly enough - no incidents appear to have been reported since. :roll: :scratchchin:

However, if they have caught the low-life - then let's hope justice prevails. Car was an old C reg heap .. and was found burned out and abandoned somewhere. Well done to GMP if they have indeed collared this idiot. :bow:

I'm glad they caught him but why put a camera there now if this happened two years ago and there have not been any incidents after the first before the camera was put there and how many incidents were there before this one?

My mind boggles at short sighted policy when they think a fixed object can achieve more than a police patrol.
