A second man has been charged in connection with the death of a former Royal Navy officer who was run over and killed with his own car.
Raymond Davies, 21, of Castleford Walk, Manchester, has been charged with manslaughter, burglary and aggravated vehicle taking following the death of Mike Samwell.
Mr Samwell, 35, was run over outside his home in Chorlton, Manchester, at about 3am on Sunday April 23. It is believed he was trying to stop thieves stealing his Audi S3.
Davies, who is due to appear in court on Thursday, is the second suspect to be charged in connection with his death.
Ryan Gibbons, 29, from Chorlton, has already been charged with murder and is due to face trial in October.
Mr Samwell, who served 12 years in the Royal Navy, was knocked down as his Audi S3 was driven away from his home.
He was taken to hospital but died a short time afterwards.
