» Doctors on trial over death in Greece
Published 2008-02-05
The family of a holidaymaker who died after falling from a hotel balcony have flown out to a Greek island in a new bid for justice. Christopher Rochester, of Chester-le-Street, fell 40ft while on holiday in Faliraki, Rhodes, in 2000 and died of internal bleeding after being left unattended for three hours on a hospital trolley.
Doctors Stergios Pavlidis, Georgos Karavolias and Mihalis Sokorelos were convicted of manslaughter by neglect, but acquitted on appeal.
They will be retried tomorrow by Rhodes magistrates after Mr Rochester's family launched a private prosecution.
