Costa del Sol: Mother wants more tests on pool after Christmas Eve deaths
A woman whose husband and two children drowned in a Spanish resort's swimming pool wants further investigations into the deaths, her lawyer says.
The hotel operator, Club La Costa World, says her claims are"directly at odds with the findings of the police report" and"their exhaustive investigations have confirmed the pool was working normally and there was no malfunction of any kind".Spanish police said in a statement on Saturday that the incident, on Christmas Eve, was a"tragic accident" caused by the victim's"lack of expertise" in swimming.
But Mrs Diya's lawyer, Javier Toro said:"It's very rare for three people to die in the centre of a swimming pool - especially in the case of a tall, hefty man.The family is"not satisfied with the interpretation of it being a simple accident", he said. "We not discard the option of opening a parallel investigation through different engineers... to figure out what happened" Mr Toro said.
