A man has been charged with the manslaughter of a betting shop manager who died in a row with a customer.
Jeffrey Hilland, 52, collapsed after a struggle at Pagebet in Front Street, Pelton, County Durham, on 2 June. He died four days later in hospital.
It is believed the row was over the timing of a bet on a greyhound race.
A 36-year-old man, originally arrested on suspicion of wounding after the incident, was charged with manslaughter when he answered bail on Tuesday.
