Aldelphi Hotel Faces Prosecution over Woman's Wardrobe Death
The council says two Britannia Hotels companies face health and safety charges after spot checks found problems with wardrobes and windows.
- Liverpool City Council is prosecuting Britannia Hotels over alleged health and safety breaches at the Adelphi Hotel following the September 2022 death of 21-year-old Chloe Haynes.
- In September 2022, Chloe Haynes died after a wardrobe fell on her at the hotel; police initially arrested three men on suspicion of murder but released them after ruling the death accidental.
- Following the death, Liverpool Council carried out spot checks and on September 22 issued prohibition notices to Britannia Hotels regarding wardrobe safety and window restrictors, though the company later performed required work.
- Britannia Hotels confirmed full cooperation with the legal process, with a spokesperson stating, 'It would be inappropriate for us to comment further at this time,' as the matter is now before the courts.
- Legal proceedings against two Britannia Hotels companies are scheduled to begin on May 7 at Liverpool Magistrates' Court, marking the conclusion of the council's investigation into the incident.
