Liam Payne Death Investigation: Appeal to Overturn Acquittal of Friend, Hotel Workers Denied


A panel of judges in Liam Payne’s death investigation denied an appeal to overturn the acquittal of three people charged with manslaughter.

In a March 12 ruling, obtained by Rolling Stone Thursday, a panel of judges maintained the original decision that cleared Payne’s friend Roger Nores and hotel workers Gilda Martin and Esteban Grassi in the case. In its response, the court wrote that while the appeal was validly submitted, it “lacked the necessary merit to proceed” and did not provide sufficient reasoning to prove that the decision to acquit the three people was legally wrong. The new court update comes about a month after Rolling Stone published an extensive investigation into the tragedy of Payne, including a statement from his ex-fiancée, Maya Henry, breaking her silence on his death.
