Investigators state that there must have been harmful carbon monoxide fumes that leaked into the air conditioning system from a faulty gas boiler at the hotel. Eleven Greek employees along with the health and safety inspector, Richard Carson, 26, and holiday representative, Nicola Gibson, 24; face charges of negligence. They are to be tried on charges of negligence - which lead to the injury of the children's father, Neil Shepherd, 38, and his partner Ruth-Amy Beatson, 28, who were left in comas for several days.
