A man who was killed in an industrial accident at a quarry near Falmouth has been named by police.

Robert Bickley died on Thursday after becoming caught in a crushing machine at Carnsew Quarry at Mabe.

The 41-year-old man, who lived with his family in Mylor Bridge, worked at Carnsew Quarry as a plant fitter.

In a statement, the quarry owner, Aram Resources, say its sympathies were with Mr Bickley's family.
