Three people are still missing following a collapse at Didcot A power station.
Thames Valley Police have today named two men from Rotherham as among the missing following the partial collapse of Didcot A Power Station. Kevin Cresswell is 57 and John Shaw is 62. Their families say both men were loved very much and say they haven’t given up hope of them being recovered and returned home.
Another missing man was today named as Christopher Huxtable who is 34 and from Wales. His partner has criticised rescue teams, accusing them of giving up.
Today all the families met with Thames Valley police who later issued this statement "We have met today with the families of the three missing people, following the partial collapse of Didcot A Power Station on 23 February, which is part of the on-going support that is being given at this difficult time. Our priority remains the recovery of their loved ones so they can be returned to their families and to understand what caused this incident.”
A family member of one of three men trapped under the collapsed Didcot power station has called the delay in their rescue "diabolical".
The Mayor of Didcot, Des Healy, says he and the town are devastated at the loss of lives and their thoughts are with the victims' families
