Three Brits have been questioned by police after a mother-of-four from Yorkshire was struck and killed by a speedboat while swimming off the Greek island of Corfu.
Local media reports have described three “young” people who are being held by the authorities following the death of the victim, Claire Glatman, 60.
Mrs Glatman is said to have been enjoying a regular morning swim in the sea just off Avlaki Beach when the boat hit her.
She was on holiday with her husband Mark, 63, and one of her daughters. The couple purchased a villa on the island and lived there part of the year.
A post-mortem examination is due to be held and a Greek coastguard has described how her body "bore obvious signs of being hit by a boat propeller".
Greek press reports say the speedboat was pulling water skiers when it collided with Mrs Glatman, who lived in Bedale, Yorkshire.
The boat, apparently driven by one of the Britons, was later found abandoned at a marina on the other side of the island.
Local media said Mrs Glatman was popular on the island, and was described by a friend as "a very good and genuinely nice person".
Another wrote on Facebook: "She was an absolutely lovely woman. Very much loved on this island. Thoughts to the family."
A Foreign Office statement added: "We are supporting the family of a British woman following her death in Corfu and our staff are in contact with the Greek police.
"Our thoughts are with her family at this difficult time."
