Man faces fire safety charges - Local - Malton and Pickering Mercury: The 65-year-old manager of the Norton flats in which two teenage jockeys died in a fire has appeared before a crown court.
Alan Foster, of Buckrose Court, Commercial Street, appeared before York Crown Court on Monday after having been sent by Scarborough magistrates on 17 charges relating to the blaze at The Tannery, also in Buckrose Court, in September 2009.
Jan Wilson, 19, and Jamie Kyne, 18, died in the blaze started by West Yorkshire man Peter William Brown, 39, which left them trapped in the flats.
Foster was not asked to enter his pleas to the charges when he appeared in the dock of the crown court, his barrister, Phillip Standfast, telling the court that the defence case was not ready.
The pensioner faces charges which all relate to alleged breaches of the Fire Safety Order of 2005.
