A water company has pleaded guilty to health and safety charges after an explosion at one of its sites killed four workers, including a teenage apprentice.
Luke Wheaton, 16, Ray White, 57, Brian Vickery, 63, and Mike James, 64, died in the blast at Wessex Water's treatment site in Avonmouth, Bristol, in December 2020.
A police investigation into manslaughter was dropped in 2024 but the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) brought its own charges earlier this year.’
