Coroner's concern at pay-at-pump fire death

A CORONER has written to Tesco citing 'matters of concern' after the death of a man who set himself on fire with 'payat-pump' petrol. Afolabi Ojerinde who died from 'major burns' - went to an 'unmanned' Tesco petrol station then doused himself in fuel.

Area Coroner for Manchester, Zac Golombeck, said Mr Ojerinde, who was 48, was 'able to pay for the petrol using the pay-at-pump function, and without having a motor vehicle or an authorised plastic or metal container.

"The deceased was allowed to proceed once payment had been made, and seemingly without any additional checks through CCTV/security cameras," the coroner said in a now published report.
