Bridgnorth man arrested in relation to deaths at Guildford venue
A 55-year-old man from Bridgnorth was arrested yesterday in connection with the investigation into the deaths of two men at a theatre venue in Guildford last year.
He was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter by gross negligence and is currently in custody.
On February 9 2013, while the band Fisherman’s Friends were preparing for a concert at the G Live theatre venue in Guildford, a four-and-a-half tonne vertically-lifting door dropped onto two members of the group.
Tour manager Paul McMullen, 44, from Stockport, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Singer Trevor Grills, 54, from Cornwall, suffered head injuries and died at St George's Hospital two days later.
An investigation into the incident involving officers from Surrey Police and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is still ongoing.
