Police report into pool drowning
Luke Hutton
Luke Hutton's body was found at the bottom of the main pool
Prosecutors are considering a police report into the death of a schoolboy at a public swimming pool.

Luke Hutton died at Dundee's Olympia Leisure Centre on Saturday afternoon.

His body was found at the bottom of the deep end of the main pool, which had been covered for the night, half an hour after the pool closed.

Officers investigating the seven-year-old's death have issued another appeal for swimmers who were there at the time to come forward.

They are particularly keen to hear from a woman who was seen in the main pool with a young girl wearing orange arm bands.

Potential witnesses

The woman was wearing a black swimming costume and had dark coloured hair.

Det Con Kevin McMahon said: "Whilst we are looking to speak to everyone who was in the pool between 1530 BST and 1730 BST, I'm particularly interested in speaking to those who would have been in the pool between 1715 BST and 1730 BST.

"It is entirely possible that they may have seen Luke and it is crucial that they get in touch with us."

Tayside Police said officers would be at the leisure centre on Saturday, exactly a week after Luke died, to try to trace more potential witnesses.

Their initial report into the tragedy has already been sent to the procurator fiscal in Dundee.

The Crown has the option of bringing criminal proceedings, or holding a fatal accident inquiry.

Inspectors from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), are also investigating Luke's death, and will send a report to the procurator fiscal.

Luke's funeral will be held in Dundee on Monday.
