A leading London building developer and four individuals have been charged in connection with the death of a woman crushed by falling bricks from a crane at a Bethnal Green construction site in 2018.
Michaela Boor, 28, tragically died after a pallet of bricks weighing more than two tonnes fell from a tower crane on St Pauls Way, East London, at around 9am on Tuesday, 27 March 2018. She succumbed to her injuries in hospital the following day.
Charges After Joint Investigation
Following a joint investigation by the Met Police and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), serious criminal charges have now been brought forward.
The Health and Safety Executive continues to work with law enforcement to ensure accountability and systemic improvements in construction site safety.
A Life Lost, A Family Waiting for Justice
Michaela Boor was described by friends as “full of life and kindness.” A memorial set up in her honour continues to receive tributes years after the accident.
Specialist officers are supporting her family as the legal proceedings begin.
