ILMINSTER woman Rosemary Manders has been charged with preventing the lawful and decent burial of a dead body after a man’s remains were found in a car.
The gruesome discovery was made at the Helston Business Park, in Cornwall, in December 2024, with the body later identified as a man in his 60s from the ‘Avon and Somerset area’.
Two women were arrested on suspicion of murder, wilful neglect of a person without mental capacity and preventing a lawful burial.
Dinah Manders, 88, of Weirfield Road, Exeter, and Rosemary Manders, 53, of Upton Lane, Ilminster, have now both been charged with preventing a lawful and decent burial of a dead body.
“They will face no further action in relation to murder and wilful neglect,” a Devon and Cornwall Police spokesperson said.
“They have both been bailed to appear at Truro Magistrates’ Court on Thursday, March 26.”
