Mark Warner denied the charge he faced and was cleared by a jury after trial
A former Greater Manchester Police chief inspector has been cleared of strangling his ex-partner. A jury took less than an hour today to find Mark Warner not guilty of a charge of intentional strangulation, which he denied at a trial.
Mr Warner was accused of attacking his ex-partner at the home they shared in Whitworth, near Rochdale. The former chief inspector for Manchester city centre, Moss Side and Longsight, denied strangling the woman - telling the jury she was the aggressor in a row on July 27, 2022. The pair had bought the house together after a four year relationship but shortly after they moved in to it, in January 2022, the woman began to distance herself, the jury was told.

But Warner told the jury he did not recognise any of the behaviour that was being alleged.
On July 27, the woman began recording their argument on her mobile phone. Mr Warner told the jury she was saying things which he insisted were not true. He took the phone from her to delete the messages, but claimed she came after him and he pushed her away.In evidence, Mr Warner told the court she hit him during the row, and that he believed she was setting him up by recording on her mobile phone.
