David Henderson was accused in relation to the Argentinian footballer’s death in a plane crash in 2019

The Argentinian striker Emiliano Sala, 28, was being flown from Nantes in France to the Welsh capital to join his new club, Cardiff City, on the evening of 21 January 2019 when the single-engine Piper Malibu aircraft plunged into the Channel north of Guernsey in bad weather. His body was recovered from the seabed 68 metres down. The body of the pilot, David Ibbotson, from Lincolnshire, was not found.
