Two prison officers are set to face a trial later this year in connection with the death of an inmate at HMP Liverpool.
Anthony Paine died in his cell at the Walton jail on February 19 2018 after taking his own life. But, following an investigation by Merseyside Police, two members of staff have been charged over Mr Paine's death.
Custodial manager Paul Fairhurst, of Belmont Drive in Chorley, and senior officer Rachel Jameson, of Middleton Drive in Prescot, both face counts of gross negligence manslaughter and health and safety offences. Court lists state that this involved "failing to take reasonable care for the health and safety of yourself and other persons who may have been affected by your acts and omissions at work".
