A British tourist is set to be questioned in Greece today as his three-year-old niece fights for her life in hospital after police say she spent ten minutes undetected in a hotel swimming pool.
The child is in critical condition at the PAGNI hospital in Crete, where doctors are battling to save her life.
Her uncle, 34, who was looking after her at the time of the incident and a 54-year-old Greek travel agency manager, responsible for customers at the hotel, were arrested after cops launched an investigation.
They have been accused of grievous bodily harm by negligence and are set to be questioned by authorities probing the circumstances of the incident.
According to local media reports, the case filed says that it occurred shortly after noon on October 14 at a hotel in Lardos, Rhodes.
Cops have also reviewed CCTV footage that captured what happened.
Reports say that the film shows that at 12:10pm, the girl, who was unaccompanied by an adult at the time, went towards the hotel’s ladder and entered the water.
It has been suggested that no one else was in the pool at the time.
Ten minutes after the girl entered, a woman who was lying on a sunbed is said to have spotted the girl, rushed to pull her out, and started to administer CPR.
The South Rhodes police and the Emergency Medical Service were then called to the scene. Upon arrival, doctors fought to keep her alive before taking her to Rhodes Hospital.
