The court held that 'accident' can include a murder, but s.5(6)'s deeming is displaced by evidence to the contrary; on the facts there was evidence fit for a jury to infer the killing was unconnected with employment and the applicant failed to prove on the balance of probabilities that the death arose out of and in the course of employment, so the claim must be dismissed.
