Ben Leonard: Scout death mum thought son would be safe

The mum of Ben Leonard, who died after a fall on a Scouts trip, has said the five-year wait for an inquest finding was "soul destroying".

Two inquests had been abandoned after problems with the Scout Association's evidence following the 16-year-old's death in 2018.

The teen, from Stockport, died after a slip on the Great Orme in Llandudno, Conwy county.

A coroner at the third inquest on Thursday found a leader and assistant were responsible for unlawful killing.
