The UK's biggest pub company has been fined more than £1.5million after a student was crushed to death outside of one of their bars.
Olivia Burt, 20, lost her life when a decorative screen outside of Missoula in Durham fell to the ground. The Durham University student had been queuing to get into the former venue on Walkergate at the time.
Teesside Crown Court heard how there was a surge of people and she fell through a panel in the heavy screen. A section of the screen, and a number of customers, then fell on top of her on February 7, 2018.
