Kent, 59, klämdes ihjäl i Kirunagruvan

Svenska

Kent Torneus, 59, omkom i en arbetsplatsolycka i Kirunagruvan i maj 2024. Hans son Rickard berättar om sorgen och kritiken mot arbetsgivaren LKAB.

Kent Torneus hade arbetat som mekaniker i Kirunagruvan i 29 år och en dag när han klämdes ihjäl av en lucka i en krossmaskin. Olyckan inträffade under underhållsarbete på 1 403 meters djup.

Sonen Rickard Torneus fick beskedet samma kväll och beskriver hur han väntade på sjukhuset medan pappan fördes upp från gruvan. Kent hade tio månader kvar till pensionen.

Händelsen utreds av åklagare med beslut väntat före midsommar. LKAB avvaktar med kommentarer tills förundersökningen är klar.
