Stingy tycoon killed worker

-

A WEALTHY businessma­n was yesterday found guilty of the manslaught­er of a labourer who was buried alive working on his pool.

Ex-UKIP election candidate Keith Crawford, 73, refused to fund safety gear, allegedly saying: “F*** that, it’s getting silly money.”

Peter Clements, 48, died in 2015 after a 9ft trench collapsed on him in Exeter.

Crawford, also convicted at the city’s crown court of breaking safety laws, faces going to jail when he is sentenced on March 22.
