A guy was sucked to death when a sink hole developed beneath a swimming pool he was in at a house party in Israel, according to two people who appeared in court.

The incident occurred at a villa in the central town of Karmi Yosef, 25 miles (40 kilometres) south-east of Tel Aviv.

The victim has been identified as a 32-year-old firm employee.

The property's owners, a couple in their 60s, were detained on suspicion of causing death by negligence.

People in swimming suits in and around the nearly empty pool can be seen in disbelief as the water drains out into a big hole, carrying inflatable things with it. 

A man who edges near to have a look slips backwards, but manages to get up, narrowly avoiding also being pulled into it.
