A significant development has taken place in the case of Jacqueline Higson, who is accused of being involved in a fatal motorcycle collision that resulted in the death of Darron Coster. Darron Coster was a hero who lost his life in the Manchester Arena bombing in 2017, which occurred during an Ariana Grande concert. The bombing resulted in the deaths of 22 people and injured many more.
The trial of Jacqueline Higson is now scheduled to take place on April 14, 2023, and is expected to last for five days. The exact charges against Higson are not specified in the article, but it is clear that she is accused of being involved in the fatal motorcycle collision that took the life of Darron Coster.
Higson, who appeared in court wearing a black and white patterned top and black trousers, was visibly emotional throughout the brief plea and trial preparation hearing. She clutched her hands together and cried as the proceedings took place. The courtroom was filled with the sounds of sniffles and sobs as Higson struggled to contain her emotions.
The collision that killed Coster occurred on July 14, 2021, when his red Ducati motorcycle collided with an orange Vauxhall Corsa in Jack Lane, Wigglesworth, a village northwest of Skipton. The incident has left the community in shock, and the family members of both Higson and Coster were present in court for the hearing.
Darron Coster, a former soldier in the Royal Military Police, was a hero of the Manchester Arena bombing in 2017. On the night of the Ariana Grande concert on May 22, 2017, Coster had gone to the arena to collect his son and his son’s friends. When the bombing occurred, Coster used his military training to provide first aid support to injured concertgoers. He used a belt and handbag strap as tourniquets to help victims and was described as “a hero” by the chair of the inquiry into the bombing.
The Manchester Arena bombing, carried out by suicide bomber Salman Abedi, resulted in the deaths of 22 people and injured many more. Coster’s actions that night were hailed as heroic, and his bravery has been remembered and celebrated by the community.
Higson’s trial is expected to provide more information about the circumstances surrounding the collision that killed Coster. The prosecution will present its case, and Higson will have the opportunity to defend herself against the charges. The trial is expected to be a complex and emotional one, and the community is bracing itself for the outcome.
In the meantime, the family members of both Higson and Coster will continue to grieve and seek justice. The trial will provide a forum for the truth to be revealed, and for the community to come together to remember Darron Coster’s bravery and sacrifice.
Higson was remanded on unconditional bail, which means she is free to leave the court but must return for the trial. The trial date has been set for April 14, 2023, and the community is expected to be on high alert as the proceedings unfold.
Background on the Manchester Arena Bombing
The Manchester Arena bombing was a devastating terrorist attack that occurred on May 22, 2017, during an Ariana Grande concert at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, England. The bombing was carried out by Salman Abedi, a 22-year-old British citizen who was born in Manchester to Libyan parents. Abedi detonated a homemade bomb in the foyer of the arena, killing 22 people and injuring many more.
