Kent (59) omkom i arbeidsulykke i Kiruna-gruven

Norsk Bokmål

Kent Torneus (59) døde i en arbeidsulykke i Kiruna-gruven i mai 2024. Sønnen Rickard deler sorgen og kritikken mot arbeidsgiveren LKAB.

Kent Torneus hadde jobbet som mekaniker i Kiruna-gruven i 29 år da han ble knust av en luke i en knusemaskin. Ulykken skjedde under vedlikeholdsarbeid på 1403 meters dyp.

Sønnen Rickard Torneus fikk beskjeden samme kveld og beskriver ventetiden på sykehuset mens faren ble fraktet opp fra gruven. Kent hadde ti måneder igjen til pensjonsalder.

Hendelsen etterforskes av påtalemyndigheten, med en beslutning ventet før midtsommer. LKAB ønsker ikke å gi kommentarer før etterforskningen er fullført.
