A hotel guest who witnessed two people drowning in an unsupervised hotel swimming pool thought they were 'joking' as part of an elaborate Murder Mystery weekend, an inquest has heard.

Komba Kpakiwa, 31, and Josephine Foday, 22, were discovered floating in an indoor 10.5-metre swimming pool at Down Hall Country House Hotel in Hatfield Heath on the Essex and Hertfordshire border.

Hotel guest, Marcel Haniff, made the grim discovery shortly after 7.30pm on Saturday, April 27 last year.
