Parents testify

The judge has also called the parents of Vera and Cayetana, the girls who died, and the parents of the children who were injured, to testify, and wants statements from witnesses who saw how a gust of wind lifted the bouncy castle and causing the children playing on it to fall off. People on the scene have previously told the police that the bouncy castle had not been fastened down properly.

The police officers who went to investigate what happened at the time will also be questioned by the judge.
