Woman whose husband (RCCG Pastor Gabriel Diya), son & daughter drowned in Spain hires a top lawyer

Fuengirola-based lawyer Javier Toro, spokesman for centre-right Ciudadanos party in the principality, is understood to be working with Mrs Diya.

In a statement to Sky News yesterday, she said her family has been left 'utterly heartbroken' by the tragedy. 'The whole family, all five of us went to the pool together and were all present when the incident occurred,' she said. 'The children were not left unattended. We followed the instructions displayed by the poolside at all times.
'The children went into the pool using the steps but found themselves dragged into the middle, which was deeper and called for help when they could not get out. 'My daughter did not fall into the water. My husband went in via the steps trying to hep the two struggling while I ran to the nearby apartments shouting for help to assist my husband. By the time assistance came, the three of them were under the water.
'I believe something was wrong with the pool that must have made swimming difficult for them at that point in time.' Mrs Diya's comments contradict earlier claims by the Spanish Police that her surviving daughter, Favour, had claimed the family didn't know how to swim. Francisco Gonzalez, a spokesman for the Civil Guard union AUGC, said: 'The surviving sister has said they didn't know how to swim. 'With that information and the fact we know the water in the pool was very cold, the mystery of what caused this awful tragedy begins to unravel itself.'
