Swansea Crown Court heard the door to the pub cellar was unlocked and there was 'ambiguous and inadequate signage' on it.
Two pub landlords have been sentenced after a woman died following a fall into the cellar. Olwen Collier, 69, had visited the Stag and Pheasant Inn in Carmel, Carmarthenshire on 12 January 2023 to help organise a 'surprise' birthday party for her daughter. She opened the door for the cellar, which she believed led to a function suite.
Mrs Collier never recovered from her injuries and she died on 16 January 2023. In mitigation, Mr Ibrahim said the court should consider both defendants to be of 'good character'. 'What happened on that day was a tragedy, absolute tragedy,' he said. 'They're broken people and they're completely remorseful.' 'Utterly avoidable' Judge Thomas said it was an 'utterly tragic and utterly avoidable death'.
