On 28 October, during a British Ice Hockey League game, Sheffield's Matt Fatgrave collided with Nottingham's Adam Johnson, and his skate blade hit and cut the opposing player's throat. The incident, which was described as a horrific accident that led to Johnson's death, took a plot twist on Tuesday.

South Yorkshire Police confirmed in an official statement that they had arrested Fatgrave this morning. The investigation into the shocking incident has been very intense in recent days, and those in charge of the case have concluded that the offending player is suspected of manslaughter, claiming that Petgrave's kicking movement was unnatural.
According to reports, the investigation's conclusions indicate that the attack on Johnson was deliberate and led to the terrible results. It was also reported on social media that Petgrave had redefined the term "dirty game", and public pressure also appeared to have led to the South Yorkshire Police's decision.
"We have pursued an extensive investigation to piece together the full picture of the case that led to Adam Johnson's death under the unimaginable circumstances," the deputy police station said, "We are assisted by experts in the field and are working closely with the Department of Health and Security which supports the conclusions of the investigation." It was also reported that Fatgrave had been brought before a judge for an extension of his detention.
