    "Arrested on the suspicion of manslaughter"?  That's some curious wording, but I have no idea how their system works.  Does that automatically equate to him being charged?

    It is a peculiar turn of phrase, but not unusual over here. The investigation is ongoing, but guilt must be proven in court. So currently they cannot come out and state that he has been arrested for manslaughter as guilt is implied before a trial has taken place.

    have a read of this post by someone much more well versed in UK criminal law.
