E.Coli Inquiry

A public inquiry into an E.coli outbreak which affected more than 150 people has opened with a minute's silence for a five-year-old who died.

Most of those who fell ill in 2005 in south Wales were children. Mason Jones, of Bargoed in Caerphilly county, died.

Butcher William Tudor, who supplied contaminated meat and was jailed last year, will not be compelled to give evidence, the hearing was told.


This was the largest E.Coli outbreak in Wales and it affected 44 schools. Tudor's company was shut down after the outbreak. It is sad that it affected children and took one's life.
