A former serving police officer has admitted attempting to murder a woman in a Manchester hotel. James Riley, 28, from Preston, Lancashire, has today, November 7, pleaded guilty to trying to kill the woman on November 10 last year.
Riley, who served with Lancashire Constabulary up until January this year, had previously denied the offence and was due to face trial at Manchester Crown Court next week but changed his plea at a pre-trial review hearing. He was further remanded in custody by Judge Patrick Field KC after he entered his plea via videolink from HMP Forest Bank in Salford.
Greater Manchester Police previously said that officers were called to a report of concern for the welfare of a woman at a hotel on Upper Brook Street, Manchester, at about 11.30pm on November 10 2022. Emergency services attended and the woman was taken to hospital.
