The Egyptian government has ordered a thorough investigation into hygiene standards at a hotel where a British couple were staying when they died.

John and Susan Cooper died after falling ill at the Steigenberger Aqua Magic hotel in Hurghada on 21 August.

The bodies of the couple from Burnley, Lancashire, will be flown back to the UK next week after post-mortem tests.

Egypt's attorney-general will lead a "thorough and independent" probe into food, water and air conditioning.
