Man charged over Cairns woman's death

A man has been charged with the manslaughter of a woman who was found unconscious in a Cairns toilet block last year.

Colina Pausa, 31, was found with serious head injuries in an external toilet at a workshop in the central city on September 13.

The mother-of-two died in hospital the next day.

A 31-year-old man was on Tuesday charged with Ms Pausa's manslaughter and will appear in the Cairns Magistrates Court on August 19.

Police say the pair were known to each other.

The man is currently serving a prison term on unrelated charges.
