The distraught parents of a four-year-old girl who died after being pulled from an Egyptian swimming pool had feared their waterpark hotel was an “accident waiting to happen” before the tragedy.
Kelly and Thomas Maddison, from Bishop Auckland, visited the Jaz Makadi Aquqviva in Egypt for a holiday with their nine children for Christmas in 2017.
They told Newcastle Coroner's Court on Monday that from the start of the trip, booked through travel operator TUI, they “couldn’t relax” over health and safety fears including slippy floors and a door from their room which wouldn’t lock leading directly to a pool.
