Murder trial hears from son of accused

by isleofman.com 18th March 2015
The jury heard from two more witnesses today, at the ongoing murder trial of a Castletown man.
It was the third day of the trial of 46-year-old Ian Anderson, who denies murdering 60-year-old Neil Roberts from Ballabeg, in 2013.
Ian Anderson's son, 26-year-old Robert Anderson, was called to the stand by the prosecution at Douglas Courthouse.
Police Constable Adam Tomlinson also spoke, he was the second officer to arrive at the scene of the incident.
The jury heard Robert Anderson talk about his mother Alison Anderson's intimate relationship with Neil Roberts, which he'd been aware of for some time.
He told the court on the night of the alleged murder he had a number of video calls, via FaceTime, to and from his dad.
Robert Anderson explained how his dad told him his mum was leaving him for Neil Roberts, and his tone seemed "subdued".
Later jurors heard from PC Tomlinson, the second officer on the scene after PC Mark Langley.
PC Tomlinson said PC Langley performed emergency CPR and asked him to arrest Ian Anderson.
PC Tomlinson arrested Mr Anderson on suspicion of murder.
The trial continues tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock when more witnesses will be brought forward for the prosecution.
