Dead truck driver named

POLICE have named the man who died while he was delivering a forklift to a mussel factory on the Shetland island of Unst on Saturday morning.

Geoffrey Davies, aged 57, worked for Robert Henderson haulage contractors and had only moved to Unst last year with his young family.

Mr Davies was unloading the forklift at the Ordale factory belonging to Unst Shellfish when he died. Police said there were no suspicious circumstances.

A team of police investigators from Inverness arrived in Shetland today (Monday) and they will be joined tomorrow by officers from the Health and safety Executive
