Traces of blood on a toy car found amid the search for Ben Needham did not match his DNA, police said.
The missing toddler was 21 months old when he disappeared on the Greek island of Kos in July 1991. South Yorkshire Police said forensic examinations of the toy, which was recovered from the island, showed no match to Ben or members of his family. Det Insp Jon Cousins said it was still his "professional belief" Ben died in an accident at a farmhouse. When the toy car was discovered in 2016, Ben's family, from Sheffield, said they believed it could have been his. South Yorkshire Police said that "detailed forensic work" had since been carried out over several months on items brought back from Kos About 60 items discovered during the search were brought back to the UK, some of which were sent for testing at the James Hutton Institute in Aberdeen. South Yorkshire Police said Ben's family had been told there was no DNA match but that officers would "consider any opportunity to continue the examination of all the items recovered". Despite the forensic results, Det Ch Insp Cousins said, it was his view that Ben died as a result of a tragic incident "involving heavy machinery" at the farmhouse. |

The son of the Greek builder alleged to have made a deathbed confession that he accidentally crushed the missing British toddler Ben Needham to death with his digger 25 years ago and hid the secret, has furiously denied the accusation.......
In June a witness came forward claiming to know precisely what had happened on the afternoon of 24 July at a remote farmhouse in the hills over-looking the Aegean Sea where 21-month-old Ben had been playing. The witness said that Ben was crushed under the wheels of a large JCB digger that was clearing land around the farmhouse which his grandfather Eddie had been renovating. The driver – Konstantinos ‘Dinos’ Barkas – had not noticed the little blonde boy go under the wheels of his powerful machine through the clouds of dust that swirled around, he claimed. And when he saw what he had done he could not bring himself to admit his part the boy’s death so buried him amid the hundreds of tonnes of earth that he was excavating. Mr Barkas, a larger than life character, popular on Kos, was interviewed by police in the hours after Ben was reported missing and released. |

Sounds a bit too convenient and neat that guy in the digger on his death bed. As if they wanted to give her some closure.
