A foreign national was killed in a plane crash in Issano in region 7 on Sunday, while three others survived and are in police custody.
A Beechraft and a Cessna aircraft reportedly crash-landed at 9 miles, Issano, in region 7 on Sunday. Police investigators first found the Cessna aircraft and three occupants, a 38yr old Brazilian pilot, a 29yr old Venezuelan pilot, and a 35yr old internet technician from Manaus, Brazil. The men were grilled by the police and a further search of the area on Monday found the 2nd aircraft about 500 yards away from where the first plane was found. The Beechraft was completely damaged and the remains of a male foreign national were found onboard.
It was onboard the Beechraft that police and CANU investigators found the 859.803 pounds of cocaine.
Both planes are Brazilian registered planes. Police and CANU investigators are on the ground conducting further investigations.
