A British man and an Australian colleague working for an aid agency that helps to map unexploded bombs have been killed in an explosion in the Solomon Islands.

Brit on Stephen “Luke” Atkinson and Australian citizen Trent Lee, employees of non-government­al organisati­on Norwegian People’s Aid, were working to map explosive remnants from the Second World War. Secretary general Henriette Killi Westhrin said the agency was “devastated” by the deaths in the nation’s capital Honiara on Sunday evening.
