Police have named the three New Zealanders killed in a light plane crash in Botswana, southern Africa.
They were Paul Leo Winstanley, 25, of New Plymouth; Jeanette Margaret O'Sullivan, 26, of Gisborne; and Evonne Marie Brennan, who had been living in Queensland.
The three died when the Cessna 206 they were passengerson crashed early on Wednesday (NZ time) about 8km from the village of Maun in the Okavango Delta, a famous wildlife and tourist destination.
An investigation is under way.
New Zealand's deputy high commissioner in South Africa, Catherine Grant, is on her way to Maun where members of the victims' tour party are staying.
Once there, she will assist in making arrangements for the bodies to be sent to New Zealand - although it is understood the bodies may not be released for several days.
