Another British teenager dies in Greek party resort

Tuesday, 26 Aug, 2015 0

 

One British teenager died and another Briton was charged by police following a bar brawl in a popular Greece resort.

Harrow A-level student Archie Lloyd’s death follows the fatal stabbing two years ago of another British teenager following a mass brawl involving Britons in the same resort.

Mr Lloyd, aged 18, had gone on holiday to Crete to celebrate the end of his exams with his friends.

They found him dead in his hotel in Sissi after he had apparently fallen and hit his head on the pavement during row outside a nightclub in the party resort of Malia, four miles away.

Mr Lloyd is believed to have got a taxi back to the hotel after refusing medical help from paramedics outside the Cloud 9 club.

Barman Sebastian Trabucatti, a 22-year-old from East Grinstead, has been charged with gross negligence leading to manslaughter.

In 2013, more than a dozen British holidaymakers were detained by police following the stabbing of Tyrell Matthews-Burton aged 19.

In 2007, residents of Malia took to the streets to protest about the behaviour of drunken Brits.

The resort was the setting for The Inbetweeners movie, where the characters went to celebrate leaving school.
