Two individuals who died in a light aircraft crash near Trawsfynydd, Gwynedd, have been identified by a coroner as Sheetal Swali and Ketan Swali, both in their 50s. Authorities were alerted after the aircraft, which had departed from an airfield in England, failed to arrive at Caernarfon Airport as scheduled.

North Wales Police were notified of the missing aircraft shortly after 12:00 BST on Friday. Air and ground searches were subsequently launched to locate the plane. The wreckage was found at a remote location close to Trawsfynydd, where both individuals were pronounced dead at the scene.

An inquest into their deaths is scheduled to open on Wednesday.
