THE former manager of Blackmoor Apple Farm has been jailed for two-and-a-half years after the deaths of two workers two years ago.

Andrew Stocker, 57, was sentenced after being found guilty of two counts of manslaughter and gross negligence.

It follows the deaths of Scott Cain and Ashley Clarke, who were found dead in an oxygen-deprived apple store in 2013.
