Spanish
police are investigating the swimming pool deaths of a British man, his
9-year-old daughter and 16-year-old son.
The girl got
into difficulty in a pool in Malaga in southern Spain’s Costa del Sol.
Her
53-year-old father and brother jumped into the pool and tried to save her, the
agency said.
Police
responded to a report of three bodies in the pool.
The British
family, including the children’s mother and another child, were on holiday when
the deaths occurred, Europa Press said.
Tanya Aamer
is staying at the resort and told the news agency that the atmosphere at the
hotel is “indescribable”.
“Obviously
we’ve never been in that situation before so we kind just began walking slowly
in a slight state of confusion as to what we’re witnessing and eventually when
we got to the bottom it was just silent, no talking or anything,” she
said.
