What happened during the 2015 Tunisia terror attack, who was Seifiddine Rezgui and where is Port El Kantaoui?
IT was the deadliest non-state attack in the history of modern Tunisia and saw 30 Brits killed in a bloody rampage which the resort owners 'couldn't have stopped'.
At the inquest into deaths at the tourist resort of Port El Kantaoui detailed emotional accounts of the 2015 terror attack which killed 38 people were heard.
A teenager told how he tried in vain to shield his granddad from the rampaging gunman, who murdered three members of his family.
The coroner said the owner of the hotel could have done nothing to really stop the attack.
Judge Nicholas Loraine-Smith said he could not include "neglect"; by holiday firm TUI or the owners of the five-star Riu Imperial Marhaba Hotel when ruling on the deaths of the British victims of Seifeddine Rezgui.
Now however more than 30 people face charges that they failed to help tourists as Rezgui fired at tourists.
Here, we look at who was behind the attack, and what we know about it?
What happened during the 2015 Tunisia terror attack?
On June 26, 2015, a hotel at Port El Kanaoui was hosting 565 guests when Seifeddine Rezgui launched an attack on people on the beach.
He used a Kalashnikov assault rifle concealed in a beach umbrella to fire at tourists.
He then entered the hotel, shooting at those he came across.
All bullets found afterwards came from the one weapon.
The attacker had spoken to his father on a mobile, which was then thrown into the sea before he began to fire.
In total 38 people were killed, 30 of whom were British.
A barrister representing victims' families has told the inquest the atrocity could have been prevented but for the "gross negligence" of tour operator Tui, which "did not take the terror threat seriously".
What exactly did the coroner say?
The owners and staff at the hotel could have done nothing before the attack that would have done more than "possibly make a difference", a coroner said.
Judge Nicholas Loraine-Smith said he could not include "neglect" by holiday firm TUI or the owners of the five-star Riu Imperial Marhaba Hotel when ruling on the deaths of the victims.
Rezgui opened fire on the beach and grounds of the Sousse hotel in June 2015, but the judge, sitting as coroner at the victims' inquest, said the law regarding neglect did not cover tourists on holiday.
The lawyers for more than 20 of Rezgui's victims had wanted this included after the lengthy inquest heard evidence from survivors that they were not warned of the danger of holidaying in Tunisia before they left.
The inquests also heard the hotel had just a handful of unarmed guards, while local police delayed their arrival to tackle Rezgui, who killed 38 people in total.
He added: "The response by the police was at best shambolic, at worst cowardly."
The coroner said that he will rule that they were all "unlawfully killed"

Who was Seifiddine Rezgui?
Seifiddine Rezguiwas a 23-year-old electrical engineering student.
He was studying at the University of Kairouan, in northwest Tunisia.
He had a girlfriend, drank alcohol and was a local break-dancing star.
It is thought he may have been high on cocaine during the attack in June 2015.
He is believed to have been radicalised over issues such as the Libyan Civil War and Western inaction against the Assad government.
He was killed during the attack by police.
Why are people being prosecuted?
A trial beginning on Friday April 28 involves a total of 33 people - including six members of the security forces - who are accused of "not assisting a person in danger, leading to their death".
The charges follow a damning verdict in February by Judge Nicholas Loraine-Smith who said after several weeks of hearings that the Tunisian police response to the massacre was “at best shambolic, at worst cowardly”.
Families bereaved in the Tunisia beach massacre have launched a £10million compensation battle.
Where is Port El Kantaoui?
The tourist complex is about six miles north of Sousse city in central Tunisia.
It was built specifically as a tourist centre in 1979 and has a large artificial harbour that has moorings for 340 luxury yachts.
It has a PGA approved championship course and attracts golfers seeking summer sun.
It was popular with package holiday visitors and families, but since the shocking attack has struggled to attract the same number of tourists as before.
