A trial date has been set for a man arrested on suspicion of manslaughter in connection with the death of a Leyton warehouse worker.
Police were called to a warehouse in Renwick Road in Barking on November 16, 2015, after reports a man had been crushed while operating machinery in Rippleside Commercial Estate.
Marian Iancu, 39, a Romanian national living in Leyton was pronounced dead at the scene.
Han Rao, of Naomi Street in Deptford, was arrested on April 13, 2016, on suspicion of manslaughter by gross negligence.
Mr Rao appeared at the Old Bailey Criminal Court on Thursday (March 21) facing a charge of manslaughter and two counts of failing to discharge general health, safety and welfare duties to employees and to Mr Iancu at TLW Ltd, a logistics firm based in the Renwick Road estate.
He denies the charges and was given conditional bail to appear until the trial date was set this week.
The trial will start in the week commencing on October 14 at the Old Bailey.
