Hajra and Haleema Zahid may have slipped into pools near path and were unable to swim to safety, inquest hears

Two sisters accidentally drowned after they paddled fully clothed at a beauty spot in a national park in Wales, an inquest has heard.

Hajra Zahid, 29, and her sibling Haleema, 25, were pulled from pools on the Watkin Path, which leads to the summit of Snowdon.

They had visited the picturesque wild swimming site and its waterfall at Eryri (Snowdonia) national park, in the Nant Gwynant area of Gwynedd, on 11 June 2025 with three male friends.

The group of five, who were all students at the University of Chester, split up for privacy and religious reasons as the sisters, who could not swim, headed for a pool upstream on the Afon Cwm Llan river.
