Investigators of the plane crash which claimed the lives of eight people on Easter Sunday say they have concluded their examination of the accident site.

The Safety Investigation Authority will make an announcement at 2pm on Friday of their findings so far, and will set out how the investigation will move ahead.

Eleven people were on board the kit plane which fell out of the sky during a parachuting expedition in Jämijärvi, western Finland. Three of those on board managed to jump to safety, including the pilot. They escaped with minor injuries.

Two of the eight killed were women; most of the victims were in their 20s and early 30s.

The press conference will be screened live on Yle Areena from 2pm on Friday.
