CHICHESTER
Compost Facility, near Chichester, just eight days before Christmas last year. A jury inquest in Crawley heard that Mr Johns had died after becoming trapped on the conveyer belt of a large, rotating cylinder sieve of a machine, which was used to dispose of soil materials. It is believed the machine was blocked and Mr Johns was trying to clear it. Mr Johns, from Waterlooville, had
recently got engaged to girlfriend Jessica. THe jury recorded a verdict of accidental death. In a statement, his mum Kim Johns said: “He was a very happy sociable man. He was very active and was always on the go.” Mr Johns had worked at the site in Runcton for a year and was familiar to the staff as his dad also worked there.
On Saturday, December 17 last year, he was working at the site alone. Mrs Johns said her and her husband, Tony Johns, had a call from Mr Johns' girlfriend who was concerned about where Toby was as he hadn’t answered his phone. THey tried to make contact with him themselves but had no luck so they decided to drive to the site. Continued on page four
