The parents of a young girl who died after a wall in her school changing rooms collapsed on top of her, wept as evidence from two of her former teachers were read out in court.

Keane Wallis-Bennett was a 12-year-old pupil at Liberton High School in Edinburgh when the free-standing concrete modesty wall collapsed on her on April 1, 2014.

Statements from police interviews with PE teachers Kerry Sweeny and Stuart Robertson were read out by Fiscal Depute Gary Aitken during the second day of the Fatal Accident Inquiry at Edinburgh Sheriff Court into the first year pupils death.

Ms Sweeny told police she had gone to the changing rooms to tell pupils that they wouldn't be playing football because of the weather conditions.

But on entering the gym heard a bang.

She said: "There were a lot of girls in the changing room and I assumed someone had dropped something. I heard girls shouting 'Miss Sweeny, Miss Sweeny' and from the panic in their voices I knew something had happened".

When she went into the gym she noticed that the two-metre high wall had collapsed.

She said: "I think there were three girls standing on the far side. I looked down and I saw a pair of legs, but I could not see her face as it was covered by a piece of concrete about a metre square.

"I managed to lift it up and tried to get it away from her head with my hands, but I could not, it was so heavy".

The other PE teacher, Stuart Robertson told police that the school nurse had come running past carrying a First Aid kit and asked him "Where's this incident?"

Mr Robertson said some pupils were standing outside the changing area, sobbing and crying.

The FAI trial continues.
