A man died and another was injured when a building under construction collapsed this morning.

The incident happened on a farm in Tarxien Road, Bulebel, Zejtun, during roofing using pre-stressed concrete.

Up to six men were working on the site when the structure collapsed.

The dead man, 48 from Zejtun, was trapped under the debris.

One of his brothers, a 41-year-old also from Zejtun, was injured and rushed to hospital.

A magisterial inquiry is under way.
