A BARNSLEY man charged with interfering with a grave in Carlton Cemetery earlier this year has seen his case sent to crown court.
Wayne Joselyn, 43, is alleged to have disturbed Ethel Goodwin’s grave in April.
Earlier this week, he appeared at Barnsley Magistrates’ Court charged with the unlawful removal of a body from a burial ground and outraging public decency.
Police were called to the grave after a resident reported the site had been disturbed.
Joselyn decided not to enter a plea.
Judge Timothy Spree said the case was serious enough to go to Sheffield Crown Court, where he will appear on December 16.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
