Manx veteran was killed while working to disable an explosive device in Ukraine
An appeal to raise enough money to repatriate a Manx veteran, who was killed while working as a bomb disposal expert in Ukraine, has already raised more than £23,000 - surpassing its target of £15,000.
Chris Garrett from Peel died earlier this week while working to disable an explosive device in the country.
He'd been there for Prevail Together - a humanitarian charity he helped to found.
The GoFundMe is hoping to raise 20,000 US dollars (or £15,000) to cover his repatriation and funeral expenses.
Any additional funding will go towards longer term support for his partner Courtney and their young daughter.
"We think it's inhumane the way he was treated."
