A preliminary hearing is set for 18 May 2026 at Perth Sheriff Court.  

Procurator Fiscal Andy Shanks, who leads on death investigations, said: “The death of Charles Ennion occurred while in the course of his employment and as such a fatal accident inquiry is mandatory.  

“The lodging of the first notice enables FAI proceedings to commence under the direction of the sheriff. Mr Ennion’s family will continue to be kept informed of significant developments as court proceedings progress.”
