Light Aircraft Crash Victims Named
Gardai have now named the four people who died at the weekend in a light plane crash.
They were Sharif Booz, who was in his mid fifties, his wife Margaret O'Kennedy Booz, also in her fifties, their 14-year-old son Aymon Booz and another 14-year-old, Charles Froud was also fatally injured in the crash.
All of the deceased are from Lower Almondsbury, Bristol.
The bodies were recovered from the weckage of the light aircraft that crashed at Corriebracks, Hollywood, Co.Wicklow yesterday.
The Air Accident Investigation Bureau were on site yesterday to commence their probe with investigators trying to establish what caused the light aircraft crash.
The four bodies were earlier airlifted from the scene after emergency services spent much of Sunday at the crash site.
The Piper PA 28 light aircraft (a similar aircraft is pictured) took off from Gloucester in England on Sunday and was due to land at Kilrush airfield in Co Kildare that same afternoon.
However, the alarm was raised when the plane had still not reached the airstrip by 7.00pm on Sunday evening.
The plane was last spotted in the air over the Wicklow mountains early on Sunday with the area stretching from the Mullaghcleevaun Mountain, down to the Wicklow Gap and west to Kilrush being initially scoured for the missing aircraft.
