Wife of the Redeemed Pastor Gabriel Diya who drowned with 2 of their kids says they could swim

An 'utterly heartbroken' mother whose two children and husband drowned at a Costa Del Sol hotel said she believes 'something was wrong with the pool' because all three knew how to swim.

Olubunmi Diya's husband Gabriel and children Comfort and Praise-Emmanuel died in the Spanish pool on Christmas Eve after her daughter got into difficulty in the water. It is understood Comfort, nine, began to struggle in the water after slipping and, failing to regain her footing, began to drift towards the deep end of the six-and-a-half feet pool at Club La Costa World near Fuengirola at 2pm. 

Praise-Emmanuel, 16, jumped into the pool followed by their father Gabriel, 52, after hearing the screams of the couple's daughter Favour, who had been playing with Comfort moments beforehand. It was initially said the trio, who lived in Charlton, south east London, did not know how to swim properly. But the mother told Sky News today that something must have been 'wrong with the pool that made swimming difficult for them at that point in time'.
