A natural gas leak caused a fatal explosion after borehole drilling for the installation of a Ground Source Heat Pump.  

A man was killed and a woman remains in hospital following the blast in Cleat Hill, Bedford, on Saturday.

Back in July, the fire service said the incident was brought to a "safe resolution" after four days of work, which resulted in the capping of the gas leak.
