A boy scout from Stockport died after falling 200ft from a North Wales beauty spot. In a pre-inquest hearing into his death, a QC for three Scout leaders said there was "no evidence" that the death of 16-year-old Benjamin Leonard, amounted to unlawful killing.
North Wales East and Central assistant coroner David Pojur said: "Nobody is on trial, not least the leaders." However, he suggested there was a potential issue and the safest course would be for them to have individual legal representation, reports the Daily Post.
Benjamin Leonard, 16, of Thornley Road North, Stockport, died back in August 2018 after slipping on the Great Orme headland at Llandudno.
He and two friends had become detached from other members of the Reddish Explorer's Group before the fall.
