Two specialist accident investigators have arrived from the UK to look into the plane crash on Cayman Brac.

A Columbian and a Mexican died when their Cessna got into difficulties late on Sunday night.

Officials from their respective consulates are trying to trace relatives of the dead men.

Their bodies are due to be transported to Grand Cayman later this week for post mortem examinations.

Yesterday a spokeswoman for the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service said: “We can confirm that two aircraft accident investigators have arrived from the UK.

“They flew from Grand Cayman to Cayman Brac Wednesday to begin their investigation into the cause of Sunday night’s crash.

“The RCIPS is continuing land and air searches in the area surrounding the crash site.

“Officers are in liaison with the Mexican and Columbian Consulates, who are assisting in tracing the next of kin of the crew members.

“The bodies of the two men will be transported to Grand Cayman later this week and it is anticipated that post mortem examinations will be carried out early next week.”

The plane was circling an area near to the Bluff on Sunday night when it was thought it struck a pole and crashed.
