A heavy drinker who botched installation works on his caravan's generator is facing jail after his partner was electrocuted to death while preparing a barbecue. James Atkin, 43, has been convicted for the gross negligence manslaughter of 40-year-old Deana Simpson, who collapsed by the cooker more than three years ago. Ms Simpson had received a fatal electric shock while in the kitchen of the caravan, where the couple lived on a farm in Willoughby, Rugby. Warwick Crown Court heard how Atkin, who was in the habit of drinking neat spirits and strong beer on a daily basis, had tried to carry out specialist work on the generator the day before with a beer in hand.
