Colin Naylor
An electrician has been cleared of the manslaughter of a seven-year-old boy who was electrocuted by a set of poorly installed lights while playing in a pub garden.
Harvey Tyrrell suffered a fatal electric shock when he sat on a low wall at the King Harold pub in Romford, east London, on September 11 2018.
The youngster had touched one of the garden lights and at the same time taken hold of some nearby metal railings, thereby creating a circuit.
The electrician who installed the lighting, 73-year-old Colin Naylor, was found not guilty of a charge of manslaughter by gross negligence by a jury at Snaresbrook Crown Court.
