Trial date set for Lee Webster accused of causing death of Jason Wood
by Keith Hunt
A man accused of causing the death of a 30-year-old is to stand
trial at Maidstone Crown Court later this year.
Lee Webster, of Dover Road East, Gravesend, denied the
manslaughter of Jason Wood and administering a poison or noxious
substance - a quantity of mirtazapine anti-depressant tablets
- as to endanger life or inflict grievous bodily harm.
Mr Wood, a dwarf, died at an address in Camden Square,
Ramsgate, on October 22 last year.
Steven McNamara, 27, of Camden Square, admitted perverting the
course of justice by suggesting the disposal of an empty medicine
bottle.
He will be sentenced after 26-year-old Webster’s trial on May
25. Both men were remanded in custody.
Judge Philip Statman ordered reports on McNamara, but said it
would only help him with the length of the prison sentence to be
imposed.
