May 1, 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Crown today dropped a manslaughter charge laid following the sudden death of Kingaroy resident Shaun Miles, 43, in 2013.<\/p>\n

Mr Miles\u2019 body was found by early morning joggers on May 24, 2013, on the corner of Fisher Street and Alford Street East in Kingaroy.<\/p>\n

He had died of a brain injury after suffering a fractured skull.<\/p>\n

The previous evening Mr Miles had been involved in a dispute with NRL player agent Paul Bruce Sutton at the Club Hotel during which he hit his head on the floor.<\/p>\n

Sutton had been in Kingaroy at the time to watch an U18s rugby league carnival.<\/p>\n

The dispute erupted after Mr Miles took offence when Sutton allegedly made a disparaging remark about Kingaroy women.<\/p>\n

The manslaughter trial began in the Brisbane Supreme Court on Wednesday. Sutton pleaded not guilty.<\/p>\n

Crown Prosecutor Belinda Merrin told the court today there had been “fundamental changes in evidence” which meant she could no longer rule out that Sutton had acted in self-defence.<\/p>\n

Justice Martin Burns discharged Sutton.<\/p>\n
