A DARTMOUTH man has admitted killing another man who was found fatally injured at a former church building in the town.

Dean Rosser, 48, of Jubilee Close, had denied the murder of Colin Edwards.

However, Rosser pleaded guilty to his manslaughter at Bristol Crown Court on Tuesday.

The 49-year-old victim was found at the 1830s St Barnabas Church, now a supported living project, in August where he was treated by paramedics, but later died.

A date for the sentencing of Rosser is yet to be fixed.
