A five-year-old boy has drowned in a swimming pool at a resort in Cornwall, police have said, just an hour after arriving for a family holiday.

Robin Caliskal was swimming with his parents and six-month-old brother at the Atlantic Reach holiday park in Newquay when he got into difficulty. Medics were called just after 5pm on Monday but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
