CLAIRE COLLINS

A FIVE-year-old boy died in a tragic accident when he was hit on the head by a golf club wielded by a playmate.

Gavin Innes was playing with friends in a park behind his home when he was struck with the iron.

The youngster suffered severe head injuries from the blow and was taken to hospital in Edinburgh but died hours later.

Yesterday friends and neighbours laid flowers and teddy bears at the scene of the tragedy in Musselburgh, East Lothian, Scotland.

Police who interviewed the playmate, also five, said the boy's death was "nothing more than a tragic accident".

It happened on Friday as they played in Lewisvale Park.
