More details emerged today about the deaths of the two victims of Wednesdays helicopter crash. The pilot died of multiple injuires. Matthew Wood, a pedestrian, suffered severe burns and a leg injury.

Today his sister said she'd had the worst week of her life as she revealed while dealing with her brother's sudden death, her house had been burgled. Ronke Phillips has the story

Scotland yard says pilot Pete Barnes who was killed in a helicopter crash on Wednesday died from multiple injuries while the second victim, pedestrian Matthew Wood, suffered severe burns and a leg injury.

The sister of Matthew Wood who was killed when a helicopter crashed in central London this week has reportedly had her house burgled.

It's understood police were called to reports of a burglary at Ms Wood's home in Surrey on Thursday night.

39 year old Mr Wood was walking to work when the helicopter crased into a crane in Vauxhall.

No arrests have yet been made

Hundreds of people were allowed back to their homes in St George's Wharf Tower last night, after the authorities said the area was safe following yesterday's helicopter crash.

The damaged crane on the side of the tower is not at risk of collapse, and work to remove it will begin on the weekend. Some road closures in the area remain in place.

The man killed on the ground in the helicopter crash shouldn't really have been there. His family told ITV News London that Matthew Wood from Sutton was only walking through the Vauxhall area when the helicopter came down yesterday, because he liked to get to work early.

But a crane driver probably survived because he overslept. Ronke Phillips spoke to Matthew Wood's sister.
