What happened at the Coral Sea Water World in Sharm el Sheikh
Mr and Mrs Mackinnon, along with their son Scott, flew out to Sharm El Sheikh in July 2014 for a 2-week stay at the popular Coral Sea Water World Resort.
The Scottish family hoped that the four-star all-inclusive hotel would provide the perfect blend of entertainment and relaxation for a memorable family holiday.
Little did the Mackinnons know that the trip would indeed prove memorable, but, for reasons very different to those they had imagined.
Within days of their stay, the family fell prey to an illness outbreak that had allegedly descended upon the sprawling SplashWorld complex.
The Mackinnons suffered from a range of unpleasant gastric symptoms including nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea alongside flu-like symptoms.
Mrs Mackinnon recollects that several of her fellow hotel guests were ill during their stay and she reports witnessing scores of hotel guests queuing at the pharmacy to collect medicines.
It appeared clear to the Mackinnon family that poor hygiene on behalf of the hotel was the source of guests suffering. Mrs Mackinnon raised concerns that a smell of sewage was clearly detectable in their hotel room and was shocked to see bird poo on the dining room tables.
Once back in the UK at the close of their ruined holiday, the Mackinnon family continued to suffer illness symptoms for a further 3 months.
Mr and Mrs Mackinnons son, Scott, suffered severely and was diagnosed with a confirmed case of shigella sonnei a highly contagious bacterial infection spread via contact with diseased faecal matter.
