Long Marston Accident / 2 arrested on suspicion of murder
From the BBC News website. Just had a thought, if it was murder, I don't suppose its an accident really is it?
Murder probe into aircraft death
Two people have been arrested on suspicion of murder after a man died when he was hit by a gyrocopter at an airfield in Warwickshire.
The man, thought to be in his 40s, was pronounced dead at the scene of the incident at Long Marston airfield near Stratford-upon-Avon.
Police said it was "too early" to tell what had happened but an investigation was under way.
No one else was injured in the incident, an ambulance spokesman said.
'Thorough investigation'
Det Ch Insp Adrian McGee said: "I can confirm that we are dealing with an incident at Long Marston airfield involving a gyrocopter and that, sadly, a man has died as a result of the incident.
"It is far too early to tell what has occurred at the airfield at this stage.
"We will be conducting a thorough investigation into the circumstances to establish exactly what happened here today." West Midlands Ambulance Service said crews were called to the airfield on Campden Road, Lower Quinton, at about 1500 GMT. A spokeswoman said: "Crews immediately assessed the pedestrian, a man, but unfortunately nothing could be done to save him and he was confirmed dead at the scene.
