Coroner Nicolas Loraine-Smith is expected to give his verdict next Tuesday (February 28), with the key argument being if, and how, tour operator Tui UK and the Riu Imperial Marhaba Hotel had acted negligently before the killings.
All parties represented at the inquest, taking place at London’s Royal Courts of Justice, agreed that a verdict of ‘unlawful killing’ should be delivered for the 30 British Tui clients massacred by gunman Seifeddine Rezgul.
However, families for the holidaymakers want the court to add that these killings were ‘with neglect’, potentially opening up the possibility of further legal action for compensation against the travel giant.
