Tunisian security\u00a0units \u2018deliberately\u2019 delayed their arrival on the scene of the terrorist attack where 30 Brits were killed, a UK coroner has heard.<\/p>\n
Isis gunman, Seifeddine Rezgui, opened fire in the resort of Port El Kantaoui, Sousse, killing 38 tourists on June 26, 2015.\u00a0 The victims, including three generations of one family, were all shot dead on the beach and the adjoining Riu Imperial Marhaba Hotel. Today, an inquest into the British deaths\u00a0said a Tunisian judge\u2019s report had identified failings by local security units,\u00a0before police arrived and shot Rezgui dead. The report stated they had \u2018deliberately\u2026 slowed down to delay their arrival\u2019.<\/p>\n
Additional footage showed\u00a0the shooting of 72-year-old grandfather Bruce Wilkinson, from Goole, East Yorkshire. A woman, believed to be a family member, left the room before it was shown.<\/p>\n
Leek said: \u2018He systematically took the lives of 38 people who had travelled to Tunisia for enjoyment, luxury and relaxation.\u2019The hearing, scheduled to last for seven weeks, will also examine security in place at the hotel by tour firm TUI and the travel advice issued for Tunisia by the UK Government.<\/p>\n
An earlier hearing was told that many families feared the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) may have failed in its responsibilities to thousands of British tourists.<\/p>\n
