The charges are in connection with the untimely death of Jake Rainton, aged 23, following an alleged assault in Huddersfield town centre in the early hours of Saturday, July 15.

Ryan Patient was subsequently taken into custody in connection with the incident and has now been formally charged with manslaughter. He will appear before the morning session of Leeds Magistrates Court on July 19 to answer these charges.
Moreover, a 26-year-old man, who was also arrested in relation to the assault, has been released under investigation pending further inquiries.
