A five-year-old British girl has drowned in a swimming pool in Cyprus.
Police said the girl died on Monday afternoon at the Evalena hotel in Protaras, on the south-east coast of the island.
Famagusta police spokesman Adam Kirk said: "At about 4.15pm on Monday afternoon a five-year-old girl from England was found drowned in the pool of a hotel in Protaras.
"A tourist saw the child in the bottom of the pool. He dived in and took her out but it was already too late.
"It seems that the parents had not seen the child. She was in the bottom of the pool for around five minutes."
