Safety claim by rabbit hunting victim's widow
A lifelong shooting enthusiast from Staffordshire who died in a tragic accident while out hunting rabbits was renowned for his scrupulous regard for shooting safety, his wife said today.
Carl Rubisch, a 30-year-old quantity surveyor, was killed by a shot accidentally discharged by his own gun, police believe.
Mr Rubisch, from Wall, near Lichfield, was in fields in Brockton, Shropshire on Friday evening when he was fatally injured, leaving a widow, Fay, son Callum, who is four, and daughter Phoebe, who is one-and-a-half.
He and his wife had been married just a year but were "childhood sweethearts" who met at school aged 17, Fay said.
Today she told how Carl was "so happy".
