INQUESTS into the deaths of four people killed in an explosion at the Chevron oil refinery in Pembrokeshire have been opened and adjourned.
Yesterday at Milford Haven Town Hall Pembrokeshire Coroner Mark Layton was told the four who died were identified using DNA samples.
The full hearing is not expected to be held for some time and until a full inquiry into the accident has been completed.
Dyfed-Powys Police coroner’s officer Jeremy Davies read out the names of the deceased and said that each was “formally identified by way of DNA”.
“As a result of that evidence I am now in a position where I can formally open the inquests of the four persons whose details have been provided to me,” he said.
“Those inquests are now formally opened but are to be adjourned until a date in due course pending further inquiries and investigations being carried out.”
