For 25 years the mother of missing toddler Ben has been waiting for the good news. That Ben was still alive. But now British investigators probing the case claim that the twenty-one-month-old boy was killed by a local digger driver.
The British investigators have told Ben’ mum to “prepare for the worst” and that her missing son is now feared dead.
For 25 years Kerry Needham has clung to the hope that her missing son Ben is still alive.
But when police officers this time arrived at her home, she knew by their demeanour they were not bringing her the good news she longed for.
The 43-year-old’s world came crashing down when they told her they now believed Ben may be dead – crushed by a digger on the Greek island of Kos in 1991.
The detectives told her to “prepare for the worst” and announced they would start a second search for the toddler’s body within weeks.
Police broke the grim news to Kerry after a friend of digger driver Konstantinos Barkas, known as Dino, came forward to say he believes Dino may have been responsible for the death of the 21-month-old Brit.
Dino died recently.
A new witness had come forward and given information about a friend of his who had recently died.
“The information was there had been an accident that day with the JCB which was working in the area and his friend who was driving it.
“They have got two areas of land to search. One is in the vicinity of the farmhouse where he went missing, the other I don’t know,” Ben’s mother told DailyMirror. (click link for full story)
