The family of 36-year-old Kelly Webster and her 10-year-old daughter Lauren Thornton, who both died from suspected gas poisoning on a boat in Windermere, are expected to give a statement later today.

Matthew Eteson, aged 39, who was also on the boat, was taken to hospital for treatment, but was released yesterday afternoon (2nd April).
