A dream African holiday in Cape Verde has turned into a nightmare for hundreds of British families, with illness, grief and legal action now at the centre of the crisis. At least eight people have died and more than 1,700 British tourists have reported falling ill during their stay, and travel company TUI is now at the centre of legal action.

What began as scattered complaints has grown into a major investigation with potentially far-reaching consequences. It is now seen as one of the most serious travel health incidents in recent years.
