Emiliano Sala court case latest

Thursday 11th July 2019


A man and woman have appeared in court charged with accessing CCTV footage of the post-mortem examination of footballer Emiliano Sala.

Sala, 28, had just signed for Cardiff City when the plane he was travelling in crashed into the English Channel, north of Guernsey, on January 21.

His body was recovered on February 6 and a post-mortem examination took place at Bournemouth Mortuary the following day.

Wiltshire Police later confirmed they were investigating an image on social media that purported to show Sala’s remains during that examination.

On Wednesday Sherry Bray, 48, and Christopher Ashford, 62, appeared before Swindon Magistrates’ Court charged in connection with the force’s investigation.

Ashford, of Calne, faces six charges of causing a computer to perform a function to secure “unauthorised access” to a program or data contrary to the Computer Misuse Act 1990.

Christopher Ashford, 62, leaves Swindon Magistrates' Court


Charges allege he “operated the closed circuit television equipment at the Bournemouth Mortuary and thereby caused the post-mortem of Emiliano Sala to be replayed by using the play-back facility”.

He is alleged to have done so on February 9 at 9.40pm and 11.23pm, on February 10 at 2.32am and 6.58am, and on February 11 at 1.26am and 9.35pm.

Yes, I agree; but it does seem to be a bit of a trend for middle-aged 'should now better and set examples' to be involved in quite a lot of genuinely stupid stuff thee days :roll:

Just look at those Villa clowns convicted over The Cornwall incident as a starter; and there are many more! :oops:
