Halifax police charge 66-year-old man with manslaughter in manor pushing death
HALIFAX — A 66-year-old man has been charged with manslaughter in relation to a pushing death of a fellow resident at a Halifax apartment complex.
Edward Ernest Corbett of Halifax was scheduled to appear in Halifax provincial court today.
Halifax police say they first became aware of the case after they were informed of the death of 59-year-old Barry Melvin Jenkins by family members and the medical examiner in August of last year.
A police spokeswoman says the public wasn’t informed of the alleged homicide at the time “for investigative reasons.”
