Corfu children's deaths: Thomas Cook 'breached duty of care'

Holiday firm Thomas Cook "breached its duty of care" in the case of two children who died from carbon monoxide poisoning while on holiday in Corfu, an inquest jury has concluded.

Jurors returned a verdict of unlawful killing of Bobby and Christi Shepherd, who were aged six and seven.

The children had been overcome by fumes from a faulty hot water boiler at their hotel in October 2006.

Their mother said she would always blame the company for their deaths.

Speaking after the verdict, Sharon Wood said: "It's clear Thomas Cook should and could have identified that lethal boiler."

Thomas Cook pointed out an investigation by the Greek authorities had cleared its' employees of any wrongdoing.
