A MAN has been jailed for the manslaughter of a woman at a Flintshire holiday park.

Warren Martin Coulton, of Buck Lane in Baildon, West Yorkshire, was sentenced following the conclusion of his trial at Mold Crown Court on Wednesday.

The 52-year-old was found guilty of the manslaughter of Claire Wright at Herons Lake Retreat in Caerwys on July 16, 2018.

He received a six year jail sentence.

Detective Constable Lee Harshey-Jones said: "This was a tragic and needless death of a woman described by her friends and family as being a loving and caring mother.

"Coulton had a responsibility to look after Claire’s welfare and he failed to do so with tragic consequences.

"It was Coulton’s failure and lack of care towards Claire which ultimately led to her untimely death.

"Today the court has recognised this failure, and he has been sentenced having been found guilty of manslaughter with gross negligence.

"I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere condolences to the family and friends of Claire.

"Incidents of this nature are very rare in North Wales. Today’s verdict demonstrates that we will leave no stone unturned in bringing the perpetrators of such crimes to justice."
