A man has been charged with the murder of a hunt supporter killed in a collision with a gyrocopter.

Warwickshire Police said the man would appear before Nuneaton Magistrates Court accused of killing 48-year-old Trevor Morse.

Mr Morse died after he was hit by the aircraft at Long Marston airfield near Stratford-Upon-Avon, Warwickshire, as he followed a hunt on Monday afternoon.

Two people were arrested on suspicion of murder following the incident, which happened just after 3pm.

The second man was released on bail on Wednesday pending further police inquiries.

A police spokesman said: "Two men were arrested at the scene and have been in custody at Leamington Spa police station.

"One man has ... been charged with murder. The second man has been released on police bail pending further inquiries."

A post-mortem examination carried out at the University Hospital of Coventry and Warwickshire revealed that Mr Morse died as a result of severe head injuries.

Long Marston airfield, an RAF base between 1941 and 1954, is now home to the Avon Microlight club, Freedom Sports Aviation, and the Shakespeare County Raceway Dragstrip.

The site is also well-known for dance festival Global Gathering and the Bulldog Bash motorbike show.
