The brother of one of five men crushed to death when a wall collapsed has pleaded with rescue teams to recover his body from the rubble and return his remains to the family.

Boubakaray Sera, 56, from London, begged emergency crews at the scene of the accident to "Please God, take him out".

His brother Bangaly Dukureh was crushed to death along with four others in the wall collapse at Hawkeswood Metal Recycling in Birmingham on Thursday.

Only two of the bodies have so far been recovered from the scene in a delicate rescue operation.

Heavy-lifting equipment has been brought in to help recover three remaining victims.

Mr Sera said that he had spoken with his brother only a few days earlier to congratulate him on the festival of Eid.

He added that Mr Dukureh left family including a 15-year-old son, and had spoken of returning to his native Gambia before his sudden death.

"He was very healthy, there was nothing wrong with him," he told reporters.

"Then one day he came here and he's dead."

The other four men killed in the accident, all of whom were also Spanish nationals from Gambia, have been named locally as Saibo Sillah, 42, Ousman Jabbie, Mohammed Jangana, Alimano Jammeh.
