Family of teen who died on holiday still fighting for justice 17 years on

The family of an Irishman who died on holiday in Tenerife 17 years ago hope to bring their son’s case to the European Court of Human Rights.

Garry Walton, 21, from Touraneena, Co Waterford, drowned while on a boat trip off the coast of Playa de Las Americas in Nov 1996.

A trial in Tenerife last month cleared Darren Sapstead, 38, from Essex, in England, of pushing Mr Walton to his death.
