Restaurant boss jailed as nuts kill customer

An Indian restaurant owner with a “cavalier attitude” to safety has been jailed for six years after being convicted of the manslaughter of a customer with a nut allergy after he supplied him with a curry containing peanuts.

Paul Wilson, 38, was said to have been meticulous about his condition and asked for “no nuts” when staff at the Indian Garden, Easingwold, North Yorkshire, cooked his chicken tikka masala takeaway.

Wilson, a bar manager, was found slumped in the toilet at his home in Helperby in January 2014 and had died from a severe anaphylactic shock.
