A waste disposal boss was today been jailed for seven-and-half years and a company fined £400,000 after an employee was killed in an industrial shredder, as the victim's mother told how she would 'Never ever forgive him'.

David Willis, 29, fell inside a machine designed for shredding wood and commercial waste at Timmins Waste Services (TWS) in Wolverhampton, on September 15, 2018. His remains were never found.

TWS and yard manager Brian Timmins, 54, who was operating the diesel-powered machine at the time, were found guilty of corporate manslaughter and manslaughter respectively last week after a trial at Wolverhampton Crown Court.

The jury could not reach a verdict on a charge of perverting the course of justice against Timmins and the prosecution decided not to seek a retrial on this count.

Speaking after the sentencing Mr Willis' mother Caroline Willis said the accident had ruined her life.

She told the BBC: 'Other people can go and talk to the person who's died.

'I can't because I've got nothing to talk to, nothing to bury, nothing to cremate. It's just heartbreaking.

'I will never ever forgive Timmins, no matter what. I've got nothing but hatred for them after they've ruined my life.
