Was wondering if she pushed him, and it appears so:

A man who died after being hit by a tram was pushed, police have revealed. The man, believed to be aged in his 30s, was shoved in front of a moving tram at Manchester Victoria station on Sunday evening. Emergency services were called to the station at 7.50pm, but the man died at the scene after falling between the tram and the platform.

Eyewitnesses allege that an argument occurred between the two after the man asked the woman to stop swearing in front of children. The man was pushed and ended up between the tram and the platform or wall (only a couple of inches gap) and was fatally injured. The woman was telling people that she didn't mean to push him.

Tragic all round, two lives wasted over a trivial matter.

Oh my god, so maybe she didn't even know him?! I had assumed it was a domestic incident. I hope his kids didn't witness his death.

Appears they didn't know each other, although not confirmed.

EDIT1: Eyewitness claims that the man had his children with him at the time, would make sense considering the allegation that he challenged the woman about swearing in front of children.

EDIT2: Further details from an eyewitness. The woman pushed the man into the side of the tram as it was passing, not in front of it. Ordinarily this would not result in somebody getting between the platform and tram but as it was busy on Sunday they were running double trams which meant that a second unit was attached to the back of the tram. After the man hit the side of the first tram he rolled into the gap between the two tram units and was caught between the second tram unit and the platform. The driver didn't see this happen and continued a short distance resulting in unimaginable injuries that were clearly fatal.
 
I hope she gets the book thrown at her. I appreciate she didn't mean him to die, but you can't go round pushing people into trams.

It is confirmed now that the two didn't know each other prior to the incident. Several CCTV cameras covering the area so whatever happened will become clear when it goes to court in October and we can hear her defence in the matter. There doesn't seem to be any doubt that an argument led to the incident but we don't know if the push was intended to cause harm or was in self defence.

I don't think the woman intended to murder the man but it will be up to the courts to decide how culpable she was so I will reserve my opinion.

Social media is full of praise and love for the victim, seems to be well known in many areas and circles. It is also now clear that he wasn't with his children himself at the time of his death but I can't confirm whether he does have children, seems not at the moment.
 
A woman has admitted killing a man who was hit by a moving tram at Manchester's Victoria station. Charissa Brown-Wellington, 31, from Oldham, was originally charged with the murder of Philip Carter, 30, who died at the station on 11 June.

At a hearing at Manchester Crown Court she admitted manslaughter, which was accepted by the prosecution. Brown-Wellington was remanded into custody and will be sentenced at the same court on 30 October.

I know I'm probably talking to myself, but she only got 5 years despite loads of previous.... scandalous

A mother-of-two with a 'propensity for impulsive violence' took ecstasy before pushing a stranger to his death under the wheels of a moving tram.

As he jailed her Mr Justice William Davis said Brown-Wellington, who has some 65 previous convictions including assaults on police, still posed a risk to the public

Wow that is shocking to me that it's only a 5 year sentence. Thank you for keeping the forum updated.
 


On her release, Brown was made the subject to an extended licence period of three years as a 'dangerous offender'. According to court records released at the time of her sentencing, Ms Brown had a lengthy criminal record of 65 offences, many of which involved violence.”

Not saying she deserved to die, but at least she can never hurt anyone ever again. Nasty piece of work.

Like life, like death.
No surprise.
 
I was looking for a thread on Charrissa Brown, it looks like I need to start at the beginning of this one.
