British tourists killed by helicopter in Arctic fishing expedition 'after its blades struck them during take-off'

Two British tourists were killed in the far north of Russia today after a helicopter struck them while they were standing on the ground. The pair were believed to be on a fishing expedition around 90 miles east of the Arctic city of Murmansk. One report said they were killed by the blade of a helicopter which lurched to one side during take-off, after it had dropped the fishermen near a remote tourist camp. 'Three people were killed, two of them are British citizens,' said a source in the Russian emergencies ministry.
