'I tried to save a young woman's life and got arrested on suspicion of murder'

A man was arrested on suspicion of murder after trying to save a Welsh woman who died after being crushed by a wardrobe. Hotel guest Wayne Kenny, 46, says he doesn't regret trying to help after 21-year-old Chloe Haynes was found dead in her room at the Adelphi Hotel in Liverpool city centre by her friend in the early hours of September 10.

Chloe had been staying there with a colleague after travelling from Pwllheli in north Wales for a night out. Wayne said he tried to give the young woman CPR after hearing a 'commotion' near the door of his room.

Merseyside Police are now treating the death as "accidental" and said "there were no suspicious circumstances." The force had arrested Chloe's friend along with two other hotel guests - who did not know her - on suspicion of murder before they were later released with no further action taken.
