Corfu rep trial resumes

Wednesday, 17 February 20103 min read

The tragic deaths of two children on a holiday in Corfu in 2006 are revisited today as the trial of two Thomas Cook reps resumes in Greece.

The trial was put back last year after requests from trial participants and it is thought it will not resume again until March after today.

Richard Carson and Nicola Gibson face manslaughter charges by negligence along with nine Greeks after Christianne Shepherd, 7, and brother Robert, 6, died of carbon monoxide poisoning.

The two reps currently have a Facebook support group with around 2000 members and Sunvil managing director Noel Josephides has warned that a guilty verdict would prompt him and many others to take the matter up with the Greek government which he feels is shifting responsibility for the deaths.
