A coroner has directed a jury at an inquest into the deaths of five people killed in a helicopter crash outside Leicester City’s King Power Stadium to only return an accidental conclusion.

Foxes chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha was killed alongside fellow passengers Kaveporn Punpare, Nusara Suknamai, pilot Eric Swaffer and his partner Izabela Roza Lechowicz on 27 October 2018.

On Monday, coroner Catherine Mason addressed the jury, which is expected to retire soon to rule on the deaths, as the inquest entered a third week at Leicester’s City Hall.

Prof Mason called the crash a “terrible tragedy”, as she instructed the jury that only an accidental conclusion could be reached.
