Cadet inquiry sheriff views boat Captain admits cadet count error
(about 1 hour later)
A sheriff has left a courtroom to see the boat in which a teenage Army cadet died during a training exercise. An Army captain has admitted he should have carried out a head count after a boat capsized, leading to the death of a teenage cadet.
Kaylee McIntosh, 14, of Fyvie, Aberdeenshire, drowned after a capsize on Loch Carnan, South Uist, last year. Kaylee McIntosh, 14, of Fyvie, Aberdeenshire, drowned after the boat upturned on Loch Carnan, South Uist, last year.
Sheriff Alastair MacFadyen and legal representatives of Kaylee's family and the Ministry of Defence (MoD) spent about 10 minutes inspecting the craft. Capt David Adams, 42, accepted a search should have begun earlier - but the alarm was not raised for 90 minutes.
The sheriff at one point climbed a stepladder to see inside the vessel at Northern Constabulary HQ in Inverness. The sheriff holding the fatal accident inquiry viewed the boat on Friday.
The court later reconvened at Inverness Sheriff Court to hear more evidence on its fifth day.
The FAI has so far heard accounts of the lead-up to the tragedy and the discovery of Kaylee's body.
