Dockworker crushed to death by two boxships at UK's Portsmouth port

POLICE have arrested a 35-year-old man as part of their investigation into the death of a dockworker, who was reportedly crushed between two shipping containers at the UK port of Portsmouth.

"A 35-year-old man from Sussex has been arrested on Sunday, August 27, on suspicion of perverting the course of justice and theft in connection with this investigation," a statement from Hampshire police was cited as saying in a report by UK's The Sun.



Director Mike Sellers of MMD Shipping Services, the company that employed the deceased dockworker, said: "Our thoughts are with the family and loved ones affected by this tragic incident.



"This is also a distressing time for staff and we are providing support for everyone involved. We are also working with the police and Health and Safety Executive to support their inquiries and any further investigations."
