Luka Budesa was fatally struck by an underwater platform that dislodged during the £49million deep port project at Stornoway. Leask Marine breached safety laws but Luka's widow is still waiting to find out if prosecutors will take action.
The heartbroken widow of a diver says she is facing losing her home after waiting nearly two years for Scots prosecutors to decide if they will take action against the negligent site bosses linked to her husband’s death.
Gisela Gomez Suarez, 38, said the lack of progress is being “exploited” by insurers who refuse to help after Luka’s death – meaning she could now also lose her home, and is pleading with the Crown to make a decision. Croatia-born Luka, a qualified diver, was hired by project leaders Leask Marine to remove shipwreck debris during the £49m deep port project at Stornoway.One year after the incident, on October 6, 2022, the HSE served Leask Marine a safety notice after an incident investigation found evidence that site bosses failed to keep Luka safe.
