John Gell died on December 3rd 2012

The Manx Utilities Authority is back in court today over the death of a Water and Sewerage Authority worker.

It's after the MUA pleaded guilty to 'failing to discharge its duty' when a wall collapsed on December 3rd 2012 - killing 52-year-old John Gell.

He was carrying out excavation work to replace a water pipe in Peel when it happened.

Sentencing options will be considered.
