A five-year-old boy from South Wales has died while on holiday on the Greek island of Kos.

Theo Treharne-Jones, from Merthyr Tydfil, is understood to have drowned in a swimming pool at a hotel in Marmari, where he and his family were staying, on Saturday morning.

Local police confirmed the parents had been arrested and later released, in what was described as standard procedure.
