Tuesday, 2 April 2024 07:13

A man who killed an 18 year old in a stabbing in central Douglas will find out this week if he's to be released from prison.

Charles McCluskey, 67, is serving a life sentence in the UK after murdering Steven Helwich in EJ's nightclub on Douglas promenade in 1994.

He'd jumped bail in Scotland, where he faced an attempted murder charge, and travelled to the Isle of Man.

After being sent to jail, he was released early in 2012 but recalled.

McCluskey is due to appear before a parole committee on Thursday.
