Families of four miners who died in the 2011 Gleision colliery disaster in South Wales will have to wait until 2026 for a full inquest into the incident. Charles Breslin, David Powell, Phillip Hill, and Garry Jenkins died when substantial flooding occurred after a controlled explosion. Indications suggest significant complexity surrounding the investigation, with over 75,000 pages of documents involved. Families express hope for clarity on the circumstances of their loved ones’ deaths, as the coroner assures a thorough and rigorous inquest process.
