Skingsly showed ‘no remorse’ – Lincolnshire Police

A senior investigation officer with Lincolnshire Police has praised the family of Kevin Nix and said the woman who killed him had shown “no remorse”.

Alison Skingsly, of Thames Road, Spalding, was cleared of murder but convicted of the manslaughter of the 46-year-old Kevin Nix and sentenced to ten years in prison.

The incident took place on 24 June last year, when both Kevin Nix and Skingsly had visited the Old Bridge Inn pub in Crowland for the afternoon.

Senior Investigating Officer Karl Whiffen, from East Midlands Special Operations Unit, said: “This is an incredibly tragic case which has seen a man lose his life.

“From the very beginning, Skingsly claimed innocence, often attempting to tarnish the reputation of Kevin Nix and making all sorts of claims and accusations.

“During her trial Skingsly shamelessly tried to portray herself as the victim of the incident showing no remorse for the tragic loss of Kevin’s life.

“I must pay tribute to Kevin Nix’s family, who have conducted themselves with tremendous dignity throughout the investigation and subsequent trial.

“The enquiry team’s thoughts are with them at this time.”
