PLANE CRASH KILLS BUSINESSMAN AND NINE FAMILY MEMBERS


Sun 24 May 2009 at 09:08

A British-born businessman and nine members of his family were among 14 people
killed when their light aircraft crashed near an exclusive holiday resort in
Brazil, a spokesman for his company said.

Roger Ian Wright, a Brazilian citizen and founding partner of Sao Paulo
financial consulting firm Arsenal Investimentos, died along with his second
wife, son and daughter from a previous marriage and their spouses, two grandsons
and one granddaughter and a great aunt.

The twin-engine plane, owned by Mr Wright, crashed and exploded on Friday night
just short of Terravista Airport, a gateway for an exclusive golfing resort in
the town of Trancoso in the north-east of the country, according to the
state-run Agencia Brasil news agency.

The accident killed everyone on board and coroners will attempt to identify
their remains through DNA tests or dental records, authorities said.

The cause of the crash is not yet known.
