UK Athletics and former World Paralympic Athletics Championships official Keith Davies have pleaded not guilty to all charges related to the 2017 death of Paralympian Abdullah Hayayei, who was killed when a throwing cage collapsed on him during training in London. Davies, 77, has been charged with gross negligence manslaughter and a health and safety violation, while UK Athletics faces corporate manslaughter charges, accused of breaching its duty of care by providing equipment allegedly lacking a proper base structure.
The case will proceed to trial in October 2026, with a case management hearing set for December 2025. Davies remains on unconditional bail as proceedings continue.
