AN elderly man is facing the prospect of a third trial over the death of a 42-year-old woman in Western Australia more than 20 years ago.
Ronald Leslie Pennington, 84, has been tried twice at the WA Supreme Court for the alleged July 1992 manslaughter of Cariad Anderson-Slater, whose remains were found in his former backyard in February 2011.
Pennington had moved to Tasmania, but was extradited to Perth to face the charges.
He was convicted of manslaughter after a trial in March last year and sentenced to eight-and-a-half years' jail.
But the conviction was quashed by the Court of Appeal because the trial judge erred in his directions to the jury.
Pennington faced a retrial but the jury was discharged earlier this month because it could not reach a verdict.
At a directions hearing on Thursday, Justice Lindy Jenkins was told prosecutors were planning to try the case again.
