An engineer who inspected a boiler in a holiday apartment where two
children
died told a Greek court today that parts of it were missing and that the
carbon monoxide would have reached fatal levels within one minute of it
leaking.
Harry Rogers, who inspected the equipment at the Corfu apartment after
the
deaths of Christianne Shepherd, 7, and her six-year old brother, Robert,
said the leak was caused by a wired-out gas valve, a bypassed
thermostat,
the lack of a flue and chimney, and a gap between the family’s bungalow
and
the outhouse where the boiler was contained.
Two Thomas Cook employees are accused of neglecting to maintain the
boiler
which led to the deaths of the two children in October 2006.
