A pilot has died after crashing a Beechcraft Kingair B200 plane into the clubhouse at the Matsieng Aerodrome in Botswana.
According to a statement from the flying club, the incident occurred on Saturday.
"Earlier in the afternoon, the deceased pilot was an uninvited guest at a private function that was held at the Matsieng Aerodrome. It is rumoured that the pilot was involved in a domestic dispute earlier in the afternoon," the statement said.
The crash occurred after the pilot made several low-level passes from different directions past the club facilities.
"The final, extremely low-level run by the aircraft along runway 36 resulted in an impact with the Matsieng Flying Club facility at ground level".
The venue had been evacuated earlier.
The statement from the flying club said that the "pilot had no permission to fly the aircraft involved".
