Woman, 31, weeps as she appears in court charged with murder after man, 30, was 'pushed in front of moving tram'


Charrissa Loren Brown-Wellington (left) was remanded in custody after appearing at Manchester and Salford Magistrates' Court over the death of Philip Carter, 30. Emergency services were called to Manchester Victoria station (pictured today, right) on Sunday after reports that a man had been pushed from the platform. He died at the scene. Brown-Wellington looked physically upset and was crying and sniffing, wiping away her tears with her jumper sleeves, and spoke only to confirm her name. Appearing visibly tired, the defendant from Oldham wore jogging bottoms and an orange jumper, and repeatedly pulled down the sleeves. A man believed to be Brown-Wellington's father could be seen rocking backwards and forwards crying.
