Exclusive:Rotherham man, 55, appears in court charged with allegedly murdering cousin Garry Claydon, 54
A post mortem found reportedly found injuries consistent with both CPR and a recent assault
A Rotherham man appeared at Sheffield Crown Court charged with allegedly murdering his cousin.
Garry Claydon, 54, died after he was found unresponsive at an impromptu “camp site” behind warehouses on Waddington Way, Parkgate on the morning of 1 June 1, 2025.
Almost one year later, in May 2026, Mr Claydon’s cousin, Wayne White, 54, also of Shakespeare Road, was charged with his murder.
Sheffield Crown Court today (June 22) heard how it was initially believed Mr Claydon died following a medical episode.
However, a post mortem exam reportedly found injuries consistent with both life-saving treatment, like CPR, as well as from a suspected recent assault.
White denies the charge.
White, who appeared in a grey t-shirt and shorts, spoke only to confirm his name. He is expected to stand trial on November 10, 2026.
