Rescuers today named the four mill workers feared dead in an explosion in the village of Bosley, Cheshire, as fire chiefs said the blaze site was a ‘very challenging environment’.
They were identified as William Barks, 51, Dorothy Bailey, 62, Jason Shingler, 38, and Derek Moore, 62. Police were today continuing to look for the three men and a
woman at the wood flour mill using sniffer dogs.
A potential criminal investigation could be launched as police detectives and Health and Safety Executive investigators begin to examine the cause of the blast.
The four still missing, three men and a woman, are believed to have been in the building near the seat of the explosion
that ripped through the building at around 9.10am yesterday in the village of Bosley, Cheshire.

No deaths have been confirmed as rescuers continue to search but hopes are fading for finding anyone alive.
Paul Hancock, chief fire officer for Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service (CFRS), said specialist rescue teams were still
carrying out a painstaking search of the site, a smoking mass of twisted metal and rubble.
