Three members of Osama Bin Laden's family and a pilot died from the "effects of fire" when a jet plane crashed, preliminary post-mortem tests have found.

Bin Laden's half-sister, Sana Mohammed Bin Laden, her mother, Raja Bashir Hashim, and his brother-in-law, Zuhair Hashim died in the crash on Friday.

The jet's pilot, Jordanian Mazen Al-Aqeel Da'jah Salem, was also killed.

An inquest into the deaths was opened and adjourned earlier.

The Saudi Arabian embassy said it was working with the British authorities to repatriate the bodies.

The Saudi-registered Phenom 300 private jet was attempting to land at Blackbushe Airport when it crashed on to dozens of cars and burst into flames killing all on board.

The airport reopened on Monday after it was shut over the weekend to allow for investigations.

Police are carrying out a joint investigation with the Air Accidents Investigation Branch.
