I did not take Ben

We find worker in Corfu tot riddle

-  LUCY THORNTON

A HOTEL worker at the centre of claims Ben Needham was seen alive in Corfu has said: “I didn’t take the child.”

We tracked down the mum to ask her about claims from three Greek witnesses who say they saw a woman with a “distressed” boy they are sure was missing Ben. Police are probing the claims. The witnesses claim the woman – then a waitress at the Roda campsite – told them she found the child abandoned on a beach. Much later, it was claimed, she said she had kept the tot.
