TWO men died after the collapse of a wall at a farm in the Forth Valley area.

The incident happened on Monday, May 6, at around 10.10am.

The pair were undertaking maintenance work on a wall at a farm in the Whitecross area when it collapsed, fatally injuring them.

Both men were pronounced dead at the scene.

They have since been named as Peter Walker, 53, from Blackburn and James Henderson, 48, who was known as Paul, from Grangemouth.

Two other men, aged 21 and 36, were taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow and the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh after they were also seriously injured.

Inquiries into the full circumstances are continuing and Police Scotland are working alongside the Health and Safety Executive and the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service as part of this.

Detective Chief Inspector Jim Thomson of Forth Valley CID said: "Our thoughts and sympathies remain with the families of Peter and Paul, as well as all those affected by this tragic incident, at this very difficult time.

"A multi-agency investigation is underway to establish exactly what happened and provide both men's loved ones, and their workmates, with the answers they require.
