Gregory Clubb’s manslaughter case to move forward despite outstanding statements

There’s a reason why outstanding statements won’t stop a Townsville manslaughter case from moving forward.

Outstanding evidence in the case of a man charged with the manslaughter of Jennifer Board will not hinder proceedings, a court has heard.

Gregory Clubb is facing a charge of manslaughter over the February 2021 death of 22-year-old Ms Board.

Police allege Clubb was driving a stolen car along Ross River Rd, which was being chased by Christopher Michael Hughes.

Police further allege Hughes rammed Clubb’s vehicle, causing Hughes to lose control of the car before striking Ms Board, who was riding her motorcycle, on the opposite side of the road.

Townsville Magistrates Court on Tuesday heard Clubb’s lawyer had the brief of evidence – and that while two civilian statements were outstanding, they would not prevent the matter from proceeding to a registry committal.

The lawyer said they would soon take instructions from Clubb.

Clubb was remanded in custody, with a court mention listed for December.
